My recent work titled Endoscopy is comprised of hybrid
objects, which balance between
being organic and manufactured,
decaying and undying.
Drawing visual inspiration from external and internal elements of the human body (skin, organs, cellular structures, biological fluids)
Ι expose to light the mysterious biochemical procedures which take place in the depths of the human organism or of some medical laboratory,
thus assigning them a totem-like and utterly occult status. The latex membranes and the glass objects –both materials are used in their natural and artificial form in the works– become translucent due to their composition, allowing the light to penetrate, to dissolve and to purify them of any illness or mortality, concepts inevitably associated with the material, physical dimension of the human existence.
Versatile and elastic, rigid and fragile respectively, they act as a dual reminder of the endurance as much as of the vulnerability of our nature.
Presented in the form of an undivided installation in space and accompanied by a video projection of optic and sonic motifs reminiscent of biorhythmic functions, the works compose not only a visual but also a multisensory environment both inviting and challenging the visitor to be immersed in a poignant introspection of one ’s inner self
After all, the philosophical question shared by all of man’s quests in the arts, letters, science, religion is none other than the journey towards self-awareness. Yet without the realization of the tragedy of the human condition, it is impossible to achieve catharsis…
"Τhe sculpture ‘’Tumors or Wings?’’ enclose my thoughts about the ovarian cancer and maternity. How some tumors can in turn you into an angel? I used glass, a rigid but fragile material. Ι created artwork inspired by gynaecological tumors. Shapes of female ovarian tumors, that could be wings too. Wings of our own relative - ours angel- who had already left off."
A set of uneven and different sized cysts created from carcinogenic materials. An optical messed of organic tumors and gemstones. A sick population of spreader volumes far beyond the size that may exist within the human body. Annoyingly sebum on the body when the attack and fatigue exhausting for the soul. The question is, can we get rid of them? A literal queries to hint whether it is in fact
By simply searching the title of mine sculpture:"The borderline is the transition between two conflicting situations'. Another hourglass-shaped object made of fragile blown glass. Two transparent almost perfect forms that their clear glass can not hide their internal deformation. Two sick cells in a project for me represents the verge of Life and Death. Two glass pieces, showing the borderline. Μetastatis and transit
The title contains a pun if the soul can eventually imprisoned or isolated somewhere. In this project I used Loufa, a sponge that can intrude limited and the red clay which gives me the ability to the creature as close to the impression of my thinking. I created individual items as I wanted to save in each one a soul. I Create souls - from people who left--shaping natural loofah sponge form that schematically refers to the DNA complex as well as vaginas On clay I du, holes

Two vertically connected container hubs, in the shape of navel, symbols of the Oracle of Delphi –points of geodesy marking the center of the earth and creating an hourglass. The sand flowing awakes back memories of past time and symbolizes the enduring agony of humans for the unpredictable future. The time that flows is priceless and disease can interrupt it at any time. The inability of one to intervene in their destiny, brings them face to face with the divination, which represents the perma
