Life’s Ups & Downs

About

Although the artist strongly believes in love, love itself had never appeared in her work until the idea of self love. Unlike romantic love, self love felt deeper, quieter, and far more difficult to achieve. The work reflects the belief that the relationship we build with ourselves forms everything around us...our peace, our choices, and the way we connect with others.

To truly love others, one must first learn how to exist gently within themselves. Through this concept, self love becomes not an act of vanity, but a path toward healing, understanding, and emotional freedom.

Inherited

Life moves like a wave. Sometimes we rise, and other times we fall deeply into darkness. But while we are in those lowest moments that we are able to discover the most beautiful parts of ourselves and the world around us.

Influenced by the sea, the mountains, the textures, fabrics, warmth, and emotional intensity of the Mediterranean, these works reflect a lifestyle built through movement, resilience, memory, and feeling. Just like waves touching stone, life continuously leaves marks on us, shaping who we become without allowing us to forget who we truly are.

The fabric used in this work is a traditional tablecloth from Lefkada that was passed down from the artists’ grandmother to her mother, and from her mother to her. Incorporating it into the artwork, felt like preserving a part of her roots, carrying memories and pieces of my identity.

We are all related

Using the same textured technique, this work incorporates the Palestinian keffiyeh as a symbol of identity, resistance, memory, and collective humanity.

Inspired by the idea that human suffering can never be isolated, the piece reflects on solidarity and the invisible ties connecting us beyond borders, religion, or nationality.

Through this work, the artist questions the meaning of freedom itself, suggesting that as long as oppression exists anywhere, none of us are truly free.

Life’s Ups & Downs

About

This section is inspired by the idea that life is never a perfectly straight line nor a smooth surface. Through textures, folds, imperfections, and movement, the works reflect the emotional highs and lows that form the human experience. Feeling the roughness, the pressure, the softness, and the sudden drops is perhaps the greatest proof that we are alive.

Deeply influenced by Mediterranean environments, fabrics, warmth, architecture, and emotional intensity, this section explores resilience, vulnerability, and the beauty hidden within imperfect moments and changing states of being.
