Eleni Onasoglou is a photographer and writer based in Greece.
Her work explores memory not as a subject, but as a force — one that wounds, distorts, and reshapes lived experience.

Working primarily in black and white, she constructs inner landscapes shaped by loss, silence, and the persistent presence of mortality. Rather than documenting the external world, her images emerge from fracture and subjectivity, tracing what fades, what remains, and what refuses resolution.

Moving between photography and writing, her practice inhabits the threshold between personal memory and collective experience. Her work unfolds in the quiet space where presence and disappearance coexist, just before the light recedes.
