Hermitage Re-Imagined
Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece within which caves have been inhabited since antiquity. Hermit monks were its earliest documented dwellers. Later, the site became host to one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries.
In the absence of access to the interior of the monasteries during the Coronavirus pandemic, the series is a stylized depiction of the location, rather than a documentary work.
His work has won winning placements in the Prix de la Photographie de Paris (PX3) contest, the Epson Pano Awards, and featured in the final rounds of the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum International Photography Awards.
Mo lives in the UAE with his family. When not working with his camera, he looks after a research team at a regional investment firm.
