This handmade silent collage is a sociopolitical satire of our everyday life in Cyprus. Pentadaktylos, the legendary mountain, is going for a stroll at the Greek-Cypriot side of the island only to get crushed by ugly tall buildings that come in its way. In this imaginary journey the impossible happens; a mountain that is impatiently seeking its people, and suddenly breaks free. The tall buildings, as social indifference, vanity and bad taste, tear the mountain down and throw it to infinity.
