Olga Koumoundouros creates sculptures that blend personal narratives, observations of people, and her understanding of power dynamics in America. Her works take on various forms such as stories and material objects, combining natural and synthetic elements with ready-made components that trace their own energetic and capital-driven supply chains. Through her art, Koumoundouros delves into how systemic structures both support and harm the common good, underpinning the American Dream and becoming ingrained in people's lives, thoughts, and bodies. Having grown up with immigrant parents, she has firsthand memories shaped by the myths of meritocracy in an ever-striving environment where the exalted and the disposable coexist in the same space. She investigates how violence and its repercussions travel across time and geography through her family stories, drawing on critical analysis and her personal understanding of gender, sexuality, Greek-American identity, folk mysticism, and trauma.
