Tatianna Filidonos

Artist Statement
When I saw the Flower of Life image, I felt warmth, admiration, and inspiration because it was such a beautifully realistic depiction of that body part. I remember I was with a friend when I received the project’s briefing. When I showed her the picture, she gasped and said to me, “I never saw mine like this.” That resonated with me. Through my painting and performance practice, I aim to create a stasis between the two polar states of denial and embrace, so I decided to embark on this collective effort to embrace and celebrate the Flower of Life.
