"The photo volume 'The Truth is in the Soil' by Ioanna SAKELLARAKI is the result of a five-year exploration of grief as an elegy to her father and the dying tradition of mourning in Greece. After the death of her father, her photography emerged as a passageway to navigate her personal grief. The project evolved to explore collective mourning in Greek society, ancestral rituals, private trauma and the passage of time—inspired by the last female communities of mourners in the Mani peninsula of Greece."
