As a multicultural female artist, I am driven by the need to locate myself—to trace the shifting borders of my identity, to understand where I begin, where I end, and where I belong.

My Greek heritage, shaped by Antiquity and centuries of Ottoman presence, carries within it the tension of East and West. Rather than searching for fixed origins, I approach my work as an act of excavation and reconstruction: unearthing fragments of memory, weaving together disparate traditions, and questioning how identity can emerge from—and transcend—what is inherited.

Through large-scale installations, textiles, and sculptural forms, I strive to build a new visual grammar where Greek myths converse with Sufi poetry, and the delicacy of Persian miniatures meets contemporary gestures. These hybrid worlds allow me to speak of myself not as a singular whole, but as a constellation of layers, traces, and transformations—an identity suspended between geographies, temporalities, and states of being.
