About

I work at the intersection of photography, performance, and visual culture. My images ask how gender becomes legible on the body and how national symbols script that legibility. The camera is not a witness; it is an instrument of intervention. I stage scenes, inhabit roles, print, and manipulate surface so the photograph can unsettle what it seems to confirm.

My practice-led doctoral research at CREAM (University of Westminster), Stiff Collar, Flowing Skirt, examines the Greek Tsolias (Evzone) uniform as a site where hyper-masculinity, discipline, and sentimentality converge. Using staged portraiture and self-portraiture, breath and posture, and slow material processes (cyanotype, silkscreen, digital–analog hybrids), I re-compose the costume’s gestures—sometimes holding them to the point of strain, sometimes letting them fail. The resulting sequences work like arguments: frame by frame, they open space for ambiguity, softness, and queer futurity within a traditional icon.
