Artemis In Bronze
2025-2026
Artemis In Bronze (2025-2026)  is a photographic and computational work built around the bronze statue ΜΠ4648, recovered in Piraeus in 1959 and currently on display just a few streets from where it was excavated. This piece has never left Athens thus separating it from the displaced artefacts examined within my wider practice and it instead raises a different question about how visibility is internally allocated within national collections. The surface of the sculpture is sampled at fifty microns, so that the corrosion is recorded as measurable geometry and rebuilt at a scale allowing for diversified and expanded imaging capabilities.



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.
