Evdokia Georgiou

In this work by Evdokia Georgiou, the once-sacred form of a liturgical vessel lies broken, its delicate structure shattered, exposing charred remains and splintered debris. This powerful transformation — from ornate ritual object to vulnerable ruin — speaks to the fragility of memory, belief, and cultural continuity. The remnants of fire within the vessel evoke a sense of violence or ritualistic catharsis, suggesting that something sacred has been consumed or purged, leaving behind only ash and silence.

Georgiou utilizes translucent resin or wax-like materials to emphasize impermanence and vulnerability. The piece contrasts external symbolism with internal decay, revealing the tensions between appearance and reality, form and essence. Through this poetic disintegration, the artist reflects on spiritual erosion, colonial trauma, or personal loss — interpreting the destruction not as an end, but as a revealing. The vessel, no longer whole, becomes a site of introspection, where destruction invites deeper understanding.
