STONES BONES
video performance, 2023
THE RIVER WASHED THE SOIL AWAY
AND STONES REMAINED BARE BONES
THE PIT IS DEFINITELY THE RIGHT PLACE
BUT THE DAM IS ONLY A FEW METRES AWAY
I LOOK ITS HOLLOW EYES AND SHUDDER
ONE LONELINESS AND MOUNTAINS ALL AROUND

WHEN I WAS YOUNG I WANTED TO BECOME THE CIRCUS GIRL
peripatetic performance / artist talk, 2023
Inspired by one of my favourite Greek poets Μάτση Χατζηλαζάρου (Matsi Hadjilazarou) who wrote: Η ποίησή μας είναι η ζωή (Our poetry is our life), during this mountain walk I shared stories, thoughts and a little dance.
