Aquatic flora and fauna, Japanese comic books, Byzantine patterns and Turkish tapestry
designs all influence my art. Reflecting upon the connection between landscape and
imagination, my work depicts an intermediate state that is not clearly defined.  

My installation work creates an atmosphere where the viewer can glimpse the outlines of

another world beneath the surface. A palpable tension exists between sound and vision,
real and artificial, and dream and loneliness, to provide private moments and a compelling
relationship between nature and design.
 
For the Alexandria Biennale I combined vinyl papers in wall assemblages that engage
a multitude of imagery related to foliage, tree formations and floral vegetation.
Developing "industrialized" organisms made of removable adhesive vinyl, the installation
is a re-interpretation of the natural landscape. Parasites and weeds, vines, roots and
branches are spreading and climbing the walls of the indoor gallery space,
creating a network of their own that is constantly evolving. A video projection of the
Cyprus Sea shot close up is projected on the wall. Painted butterflies cut out of

transparent acetate are suspended from the ceiling. Blue and green spotlights placed

discreetly around the darkened room create shadows of the hanging butterflies

on the walls and accent elements on the walls.

 
The exhibition space is mimicking the natural world, reproducing an image that is
typical of natural environments. I want to explore the real and bring it into the world of
memory and imagination by making an ecosystem that exists somewhere between
representation and abstraction.
