MONTHS. THE MOON.

Artist book

2025

Developed in dialogue with rural Greek daily diaries, this artist book combines short poetic fragments with embroidered motifs. Arranged within a handmade book structure, the work approaches repetition and stitching as tactile rituals of memory and time.

The project began during a residency at Footnote Centre in Belgrade in 2022, where I first experimented with embroidery on paper and researched traditional motifs from Greek and Balkan embroidery practices.
