My practice explores the intersections of natural and sociopolitical landscapes, mapping perspectives often overlooked in dominant narratives. By challenging totalizing worldviews, I focus on the specific and localized within broader sociopolitical contexts.
Through various media, including video, artists' books, and performance, I investigate the intricate interconnections between personal, historical, environmental, and political issues and their influence on the formation of (national) identities.
Postcolonial Cyprus serves as a point of departure for my work, where more-than-human entities—such as trees, pigeons, and bees—emerge as witnesses to displacement, colonial legacies, and migration.
