Of Bulls and Bloodlines | Desmós

Returning to Greece after my father’s passing, this work reflects on the deep bonds between us, our shared lineage, and the pull of ancestral land. Through the symbolism of two bulls, the piece explores the experience of diaspora - the distance, the longing, and the embodied memories carried across oceans. Materiality becomes a conduit for grief, belonging, and the visceral ties that persist beyond place and beyond death.

Dedicated to my father, Stylianos, this work holds the space where loss and connection continue to meet.

Σε κρατώ πάντα στην καρδιά μου, μαζί μου σε κάθε ανάσα, σε κάθε βήμα - για πάντα μαζί μου

I hold you always in my heart, with me in every breath, in every step - forever with me
