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."

Fertility Goddess (2024)


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.
