In this body of work, I explore thoughts and questions about my relationship to Greece as a fourth generation Greek-American. What does it mean to be part of the omogenia (Greek diaspora) when the first and second generations are now gone? What are the roles of pop culture and the internet in building identity? What are the difficulties and joys of reclamation? The work below is an ongoing exploration of these questions.
