Fetish of Innocence, 2026

Group Exhibition, Red Carpet Project Space

Fetish of Innocence brought together works by Liliane Lijn, Konstantinos Argyrologlou and myself in an exhibition curated by Kimona Venieri Vasilaki at The Red Carpet Project Space, Athens. The exhibition approached childhood not as a site of nostalgia or purity, but as something shaped by memory, trauma, the body, loss and time.

For this exhibition, I presented ceramic sculptures that move between softness and defence. In works such as Become the Thorn, clay’s initial malleability is transformed into hardened, sharp, protective structures, drawing on organisms such as sea urchins whose forms respond to vulnerability through defence. I am interested in how protection and trauma can exist within the same surface: how something can shield and wound at once, and how hardened forms can still carry the memory of softness.
