BPP: Who are you?And who are you for real?

BPP: What is your real dream, the one that keeps you awake at night and if it came true one day you would feel calm and at peace?

Theodora Gatsi: My real dream is to take pictures of all walks of people from all over the world!

BPP:  How is life for the people in your country today? What would you wish for them and for the people of this planet at large?


Theodora Gatsi: Life has become very difficult for the majority of people in Greece but we have started to think more politically and that is important.  My salary is half of what it was before. Personally, I wasn’t happier then with the higher salary. Money is not the only thing that matters and you should find the ability to be the master of your own life in a self-sufficient and organized manner.

BPP: If you had the chance to be a child again, would you choose to lead the same life as now?

Theodora Gatsi: Yes

BPP: When was the exact moment you understood what you wanted to do in your life? How did you feel at that very moment?


Theodora Gatsi: The moment that I changed radically was when I lost my mother. Everything inside me had to be rebuilt.

BPP:  Do you want to tell us something we haven't asked you?


Theodora Gatsi: My motto: I’m unique, just like everybody else.
