I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer. At night I fell sleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times.

I was a singer, not very popular one. I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken. But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is.

When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living, they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home. They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people. For home to be wherever you lie you head.

I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying, because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone, who had nothing, who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.

Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people, and finally I did, on the open road. We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of art.

Live fast.

Die young.

Be wild.

And have fun.

I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become. I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever;

I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself, I Ride. I Just Ride.

Who are you?

Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I Have.
I Am Fucking Crazy.

But I Am Free.

I WISH I WAS

RENOVATION OF KYRIAKOS MICHAELIDES TAILOR MUSEUM

In terms of the visual part of my master's dissertation (MA Arts and Museum Management) i made the renovation of an old tailor shop which took me up to 3 months in order to be completed.

The research intended to be practically based and the aim was to transform the closed and unused nowadays tailor shop of Kyriakos Michaelides tailor, into an exhibition space utilising the shops tailoring background, making the exhibition be open to the public.

Kyriakos Michaelides tailor museum is located at the old part of the town Nicosia within the Venetian Walls near Phaneromeni Church.
