Working across various media, my practice explores the interplay between the tangible—body, objects, and material—and the intangible—digital, energy, and spirits. Alongside my dedicated studio practice, where I focus on creating sculptures, video installations, and photographic works, I also develop long-term performative projects. These performances actively engage the public through location-specific choreographies, immersive soundscapes, and wearable textile props. By blurring the boundaries between spectator and performer, they address fundamental themes such as death, love, and compassion, while responding to the pressing environmental, political, and social challenges of our time.
