Christou Sculpture

PlaceKentDate2000CONCEPTIt is a project realized after a research on the classic tragedy of Euripides Helen as a theme in order to find solutions in matters of figure and space. I tried within a sculptural syntax to create a narrative that compresses the atmosphere of the ancient text of the Greek poet. Thus, I used a morphology which is a mixture of archaic, primitive and modern in order to transfer the narrative to the eyes of a contemporary viewer. The gesture and materials were kept minimal in order to leave space for the poetry to prevail. the mythological basis of the tragedy of Euripides is the story of Helen that did not ever went to Troy, instead, she was kept in Egypt by Aphrodite mourning for the injustice of the Gods.
