About

 

Χλόη (Chloe) embraces the symbolism of ruins, sparking contemplation on the intricate relationship between Past, Present, and Future, as well as the dynamic interplay of Culture and Nature.

​

Beyond mere architectural remnants, ruins embody the imprints of time on our culture—a visual narrative of our past and a reflection of our civilizations. They signify humanity's pursuit of immortality, drawing us into the labyrinth of the long term, connecting us with our ancestors while evoking a profound awareness of our finite existence.  The degradation of ruins encapsulates the cultural essence and the expectations inherent in a human perspective, but not from the perspective of Nature. Through these remnants, Nature asserts its rights, transforming man-made creations into a hybrid of nature and culture.

​

In Ancient Greek, Χλόη (Chloe) is a feminine word that means young sprout capturing the perpetual and unstoppable rebirth of Nature that transcends time and space. The artist reshapes ancient column-like forms, crafted from modern construction materials, into a new source of life with plants sprouting from within. This rebirth imparts a renewed "life" to the ruins, extending beyond anthropocentric goals and values.
