‘Yiayia’s Watermelon’ is an ode to my grandmother, Maria. Karpouzi is the word for Watermelon in Greek and is one of my favourite words.

It reminds me of when I went to visit my grandparents in Greece when I was 16 during a family holiday. I first learned the word for Watermelon there and always thought it sounded so cute. Yiayia would laugh because I used to confuse it with the another word that sounded similar which was the word for Mosquitos.

After lunch she'd cut up big chunks of watermelon and we'd sit outside and enjoy them.
