 artist statement

As a Cyprus-born, Berlin-based visual artist, I explore the fundamental qualities of photography through creating perceptual manipulations within the camera. 

I use movement during the sampling process, as a manipulation technique, then I work on series of concrete photographs from single images that stands as aesthetic objects. 

 

The metaphor as manipulation aiming to reflect on questions as what is actually real in the narratives we absorb? what does the mind perceive of what it sees? Is there ever more to what is perceived?
 

Thus my work, which spans both experimental photography and documentary projects, intersects in exploring the subtle mechanisms that construct our understanding of social and political narratives within complex layers of human perception.
