Socially Engaged


Socially Engaged Works
​

In these works, I turn outward, responding to pressing social, political, and environmental concerns. Land use, climate, and the human impact on the natural world inform the imagery and form, while questions of equity, access, and community guide the concept. These pieces extend my practice beyond personal reflection, connecting observation and aesthetic exploration to collective responsibility and awareness.

The State of Greece
ΕΝΟΙΚΙΑΖΕΤΑΙ - ΠΩΛΕΙΤΑΙ
FOR RENT – FOR SALE


The words: ΕΝΟΙΚΙΑΖΕΤΑΙ - ΠΩΛΕΙΤΑΙ:  FOR RENT - FOR SALE dominate the streets, structures and spaces of Greece, repeating themselves ad nauseam along blocks of once occupied homes and shops, spelling out the current, disastrous Greek state of affairs. It is impossible to ignore these signs, and their menacing forebodings. They point to a co-existent yet sometimes hidden stress, poverty, and lack of a clear future for Greece that are only too obvious to the people of Greece.
