Enceladus. 1953  

Dimensions: 200 x 9' / Location: Kefalonia, Greece / Completed: June 2016

"The story of Kefalonia is a story of the natural forces that have directly affected its landscape and culture. Enceladus 1953 seeks to represent these forces by referencing seismic data from the Great Kefalonia Earthquake in 1953, one of the most devastating earthquakes on the island to date. After being defeated during the Gigantomachy, the war between giants and gods, Enceladus was buried under mount Aetna. His restless movement is said to be the cause of the earthquakes.

The seismic waves are rendered to reflect the landscape of Kefalonia, and the moon cycle is depicted as a reminder that we must always be aware of the natural forces that are constantly changing above as well as below."
