This work is inspired by the concepts of transformation, mutation, survival and ultimately adaptation to a specific environment. It explores the question of inhabiting a place that has been violently cut off from its contact with nature. It presents a creature contaminated by reckless industrial development and trying to find ways to breathe in a suffocating environment. It is a timeless creature that runs through the history of Elefsina from Antiquity to the future. The transformation of the city − the altar of the Eleusinian Mysteries giving way to the altar of the factories − is encapsulated in the transformation of a creature that has its roots in the past, has learnt to survive in the present and projects its existence into the future. The Elefsina of myth and factories becomes a poetic narrative of the city and the creatures that inhabit it.
