“The Unknown” Through the use of abstract and macro photography, Bourazanis has captured the essence of bringing her imagination to life; creating and expressing a world of unknown possibilities, by focusing on particular foods that have a negative affect on her, identifying and imagining what each possible detail could look like
within her mind.

It is a series of posters, with a purpose of drawing attention to endangered species of animals. Three species were selected to illustrate the case: African savanna elephant, polar bear and military macaw. The posters are printed in a way that animal pictures and text about them is only visible with a certain lighting. Otherwise, the viewer sees a blank poster with just one sentence “If you see me help me” The materials used are eco-friendly and completely recyclable - thus it has minimal impact on the environment.

In my last year of University College we had to elaborate a big project where research and creativity came together. I decided to look into a centuries-old printing method; the monoprint. This simple method only requires a smooth plate and some ink and is very easy to apply. The reason why this method is long forgotten is because you can only make one print each time (hence the name ‘mono’) which makes every print unique. I used this technique to illustrate short stories from the book “Slowly, as fast as they could” from the Dutch author Toon Tellegen. These stories have their own weird and mysterious beauty, which is perfectly represented by the monoprint technique.
