Statement
I design jewelry that assembles in an abstracted shape, creating a multitude of viewpoints plus a multitude of applications.Originally what leads me to make innovative forms is that I am interested in the reflection of the viewer. Lately, I find joy in making small projects based on experimentation and the ephemeral.
Food Victim Collection.
This body of work investigates the relationship between Appetite and Social Icons. Throughout history, women's bodies have been regarded as objects of beauty. During the years, different aesthetics were supporting femininity.
Nowadays, media images and fashion industry create an artificial problem to most women in order to support diet food industry by
using them as products of consumer society. For this reason, the use of pasta creates ironic and boundary crossing pieces that beautify and emphasize on how public image turns a basic need such as food into overeating disorder, bulimia, self-destruction and social rejection. How Social Icons turn feminism into body fascism.
Oh no! This is toxic.
In this work I address the environmental issues. Human activities are contaminating the world’s water systems and disrupting the lives of animals. From toxic chemical runoff to the accumulation of litter, miles away from land. We alter the planet rapidly and we experience the consequences. I used tar as my main material in order to convey the threat, the fear and the crude death of all living beings that live in nature and are condemned by the humanity. In my country, Greece, tar is a very common finding on our beaches. Sometimes, in collaboration with the sea, they create unique sculptures, the content of which is a mysterious mixture of life and death.
The leftovers of another life.
Between light and darkness lies the world of our past.
The place where we safely keep all our memories, all our forbidden thoughts, all our fears, all the things that we could have been but we are not.
When we turn on the light, we live in the present.
When we turn off the light, we live in our past.
Between light and darkness lies a world of decisions.
Birds of Hell (or The eyes of an ugly monster want to eat my soul).
Finding yourself being involved in a situation beyond any limit, makes you feel awkward. During the creativity process, monsters come out of your bench. Monsters that eat your brain, your soul, your power and the birds are no more birds. They are creatures filled with blood. Look like rats and hell is on its way.
Bird of Paradise.
I created this piece in order to convey the beauty and the ugliness. The tradition, the sound of the sea, the sandy beaches in contradiction with the death of all the beings that live under the water and suffer from the ecological disaster.
