Nicosia, Cyprus, 2002

Graffiti on an abandoned wall in Cyprus with the Greek flag and the words “Freedom for Cyprus" in Greek
Graffiti calling for “Freedom for Cyprus” on a weathered wall — a reminder of the island’s division and the enduring hope for reunification.

Near the border crossing at Ledra Palace Hotel, a tree grows on the street, next to a sidewalk, signaling the passing of years since the invasion of 1974. Graffitied walls in blue and white proclaim in Greek to all entering or leaving, to liberate Cyprus. Photo courtesy of Eleftherios Kostans.
