Thaleia held her first solo exhibition Without in Greece at the art multi-site Tiny Will in 2014. Her work explores the relationships between the concepts of life and death, memory and oblivion, through a variety of mediums and found objects; seeking to foster connective strands between art and contemporary life, taking a critical view of social and political issues.
