I longed to create a heroine who is the same age as the 21st century. A young woman who doesn't fit into stereotypes, who doesn't fulfill expectations, who doesn't confirm fears. Someone who lives day by day, enjoying her contradictions, suffering because of them.
Someone who cuts and is cut, sometimes sober, sometimes drunk. Who moves in and out of parallel worlds without settling, without resting in any of them. Sometimes she trembles at the future, sometimes she feels it is within her grasp, longing to squeeze it and drink it dry, to leave nothing untried, untasted…
Someone who acts out of ignorance of danger. And who falls in love, passionately, fully aware of the risks. A girl in her prime, shaped in the most fluid environment, bombarded from the cradle with information, theories, experiences, everything that is immediately verified is just as quickly disproved.
A girl so different and yet so similar at her core to Odysseas Elytis's "Maria Nefeli," and to Manolis Chiotis's "Strange Girl." I present to you Pandora Stafyla.
- "If you expect me to be shocked by what you tell about me, you don't know me at all".

- "As if you have any other choice..."
