Head In The Clouds

For much of her life, Papou was told she lived with her “head in the clouds” and existed in a dreamlike state, disconnected from reality. What was once perceived as a limitation, Papou has now embraced as her greatest strength. In Head in the Clouds, she celebrates the fluidity of her creative spirit, where imagination and identity intertwine without boundaries.

With vibrant and emotive works, Papou navigates the duality of her Greek and Native American roots. No longer burdened by her cultural heritage, she now soars with it — transforming ancestral stories into sources of pride. Her works invite the viewer into a space where reality and imagination converge, offering an opportunity to embrace fluidity and release the need for constraints. In doing so, Papou reveals her truest self — not as someone lost in a dream, but as the main character in her own unfolding story.
