In Chimeric Bloom, Tziallas explores the fragile intersection between biology, memory, and the human condition. Drawing from a lifetime of experiences with chronic illness, her work contemplates the body’s capacity for endurance, adaptation, and transformation. The ambiguous organic forms within the composition evoke cellular structures, organs, and botanical life, intertwining in a rhythm that blurs the boundaries between the human body and the natural world.

Tziallas approaches the body as both vessel and landscape, resilient yet ephemeral. Her intricate patterns and use of colour notion cycles of growth, healing, and decay, reflecting the delicate balance between vitality and vulnerability.
