In my practice, I delve into the rich tapestry of narrative—unraveling threads of ancestry, identity, and the stories woven between individuals. Rooted in the historically significant materials and mediums tied to domesticity and matrilineality, I merge the practical and the artistic. Weaving, sewing, and crocheting, skills passed down through my Greek lineage, serve as both mediums of creation and vessels for narratives. 

The hand, visible in my work, underscores the intentional contradiction within. The sweaters, meticulously crafted–are meant to be seen, not worn—a reflection of the contemporary discord within my fragmented identity as a queer individual. 

Crafted as a homage to antiquated domestic skills, my work seeks to bridge the gap between tradition and the contemporary. 

My work investigates the successes and failures of communication, transcending the boundaries of any specific material. I am interested in the fabric of translation— the labor of interpreting, sharing, and the inevitable losses that occur in the process. This is a reflection of the care and interpersonal dynamics inherent in both language and craft. 

The concept of "home" reverberates throughout my work, whether anchored in a site or network, connecting the tangible with the intangible moments that shape an individual's life. Whether exploring the complexities of emotional labor, translating people's experiences into tangible artifacts, or delving into the nuances of personal and shared histories, my work aims to make every moment equally impactful. 

In my practice, duration is not merely a measure of time, but a reflective process. Through oral histories and fragmented self-narratives, I strive to capture life as a series of attempts —the intricacies, vulnerabilities, and the threads that bind us all together. My work becomes a diary of sorts, a first-person narrative that speaks to the labor of relationships present and passed down, echoes and imprints.
