Artist Statement

Having engaged in subjects such as Cyprus cultural heritage, her childhood memories and modern aspects are the sources which provide her inspiration to transform and create her photographic outcome. The dominant concern when making pictures is to perceive what resonates with her inner self and be able to communicate her personal sensitivity, and her reaction, to each scene that unfolds before her. During research and production, new areas of interest arise and lead to the next body of her work. As she moves forward in her career as a progressive independent fashion photographer, one of her aims is to create something unique which is accessible to wider audiences and still contains ideas, such as culture, that have motivated her as an artist in the earlier stages of her career.

Many thanks to @makers_block for the amazing laser cut “Lefkara lace” print and to @cyprus_handicraft_service for the “Lefkara lace” embroidery.
