Artist Statement Two Pieces, One Story

A candle holder inspired by the idea of metalampadefsi—the sacred passing of light, creativity, and knowledge. Like a flame transferring from one candle to another, tradition moves through time not as a weight, but as warmth, illuminating the path ahead.

A bird carrying its memories unfolds its wings. Rising above as a symbol of freedom, it embodies the dialogue between past and present—the idea that tradition can become a force of personal expression and creative evolution. And the journey continues through time.
