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."

Is a reflection on the complex relationship
between women and money, labor, and
value. In this piece, I stitch $100 bills into the
fabric of the first dress my godmother ever
made for me, intertwining threads of memory
and currency. On the bills, I write phrases
like “God will provide,” echoing the societal
expectations placed on faith and divine
provision, often used to justify economic
inequalities. Through this act, I meditate on
the materiality of money, the invisible labor
of women, and the contradictions between
financial dependence and spiritual trust.

thread, cotton fabric, and counterfeit $100
bills, used in money ritual].
