“First Forty Days" transforms used canvas awnings or “Τέντα” from the polykatokia buildings that populate modern Athens into raw textured tapestries. The first 40 days after childbirth is a universal tradition rooted in cultural practices that prioritize the health and recovery of mothers and newborns. These large works on literal pieces of the home explore the intimacy, physicality, and all-encompassing nature of early motherhood.
