According to artist and RCA tutor Despina Zacharopoulou: "Claudia's transdisciplinary practice spans the fields of new media, performance, sculpture, and painting. Influenced by her background in architecture, her work explores the poetics of space through rituals she performs with her own postcolonial female body, as well as through the material remnants left behind from these performative actions."

This piece is a tribute to the ancient and
contemporary intersections of tradition,
fertility, and the female body. I created a
dress based on a traditional indigenous
pattern. This dress was worn during my IVF
process, serving as a symbolic garment for
the journey of freezing embryos. On the
dress, I marked crosses over the areas of my
body where I received hormone injections,
reflecting both the physical and emotional
landscape of fertility treatments. Through
this work, I explore the connection between
women’s bodies, traditional symbolism, and
reproductive technology.
