In Severance 
2024-2025

In Severance  (2024-2025) is a multi-media work including photography and computational image production; attempting to reunify key pieces of artwork from collections separated by colonialist action. The specific focus of the work is on artefacts of Ancient Greek origin, curently in the possesion of national museums curerntly existing as a remnant of colonial history. The series delves within concepts of digital repatriation and reclamation, with a further focus on cultrualy and politicaly significant museum objects still retained as parts of imperial museum collections. 




I Saw Your Particles Collide2023This work explores human relationships through the lens of visual composition, how one person becomes legible in proximity to another. Entirely situated within the studio space, it reflects on creative entanglement and how the emotional, aesthetic, and structural makeup of an individual shifts in dialogue with someone else. 





From Athens
2021-2024

An homage to origin. From Athens is a reflection on architectural and emotional landscapes, on structures, memory, and atmosphere. The work spans time and media but remains tethered to a single point . These images serve as both personal retrospective and spatial archaeology.






In Limbo2020-2022
In Limbo considers the moment between two lives. The work takes the concept of limbo, spiritual, emotional and literal and grounds it in lived experience: the departure from childhood, from Greece, from family homes. Through portraiture, I sought to mark this threshold, both for myself and for those depicted. The result is a meditation on transition, one both uneasy and gentle.
