Big Blue Dot was a ten-day artists’ residency and public exhibition in Ano Koufonisi, curated by Nikos Yfantis and organised by Sealed Earth Ceramic Art Studio and Gallery. The project responded to the cultural heritage of the Small Cyclades and the archaeological histories of Keros and Daskalio, bringing together twelve artists working with ceramics, sculpture and public installation.

For my works Elemental Encounters and A Fragment of I drew from the cave-like formations across the island and from the way water gradually moulds, erodes and reshapes the land. I was interested in the island as a body in continuous formation, shaped through contact between sea, rock, wind and time. Through clay, these observations became ceramic fragments that sit between vessel, geological trace and offering.

Presented outdoors as part of a public route across Ano Koufonisi, the works remained exposed to the same conditions that informed them: weather, salt air, light and human contact.
