Correlating alchemy with art, a new material comes to life through scientific approaches. The body is challenged to become one with the materials while being entrapped in between, intentdng to bring a significant, but pleasant, change of feelings. This transformation alludes to both the expected and unexpected interpersonal emotions.
In the end, do you find a way to attract or do you keep repelling?

Eleni's ideas explore the coexistence between fragile and strong materials with a sparkle of science in the background. Originally trained as a Printed Textiles designer and after as an experimental Jewellery designer, her creations reveal a unique alchemy that is brought to life through her desire to create a magical pathway. Thinking of her work as a performance, the body always challenges the raison d’ être of each invention by creating an unexpected reaction between the two.
