Sophia Vi

Façade

Following gender affirming Facial Feminisation Surgery, a transgender woman contemplates what it means to be alive using the words of William Shakespeare's most famous speech - 'To be or not to be...'

Koupepia

Petros, a Widowed Cypriot Man, attends his son's engagement party although tolerant of his son's homosexuality he is yet to be truly accepting of him. Over Koupepia, a traditional Cypriot delicacy, he meets Eleni - a British Cypriot Transgender Woman. The two appear to have nothing in common but bond over the food of their heritage reframing Petros' relationship to his son, queer people and the Cypriot identity. Can people be more than is what we assume?
