In 2018, I created the cover and fifteen handmade collages to illustrate the haiku collection "In an unknown land" written by Greek poet Kostas Linnos and published by Filyrabooks, Athens.
​
The project was an invitation to let the musicality and imagery of the verses create a world of their own in my imagination, to allow them to stir within me before being reborn into visuals where the mythological and the contemporary collide.
​​
The process taught me to hold the tension between what exists and what is in the becoming. To trust this liminal space where layers of meaning weave their way into fragments of images and glimpses of stories. I envisioned each collage as a gate to an imaginary world, an invitation to dream and linger there, haunted by the verses like a riddle to decode. ​​​​

Praise for "In an unknown land"
"Verses and collages bring forward the origin, the chain of evolution. Everything changes while always remaining the same, a slight turn of the key and the door opens; the world is reborn with colors, shapes and words, new, fresh and anyway beautiful.
Eras, religions, cultures communicate with each other. The sacredness of life is constantly implied. Eternity present in the moment."
