About MY PRACTICE
My practice exists at the intersection of materiality, storytelling, and sustainability. Through installation, sculpture, performance, and participation, I explore the transformation of materials and the narratives embedded within them. My work reimagines industrial and natural processes through a lens of care, resistance, and experimentation—challenging extractive production methods and embracing slower, ritualistic approaches.
I am particularly drawn to biomaterials, working with bioplastics, kombucha leather, and recycled synthetic plastics to create environments that invite tactile engagement and reframe our relationship with materials. These spaces often become immersive installations, where audiences are not just passive observers but active participants—invited to step inside, interact with, and become part of the worlds I construct.
Central to my practice is an ethos of sustainability—not just in material choices, but in how knowledge is shared and made accessible. I am interested in collective learning, whether through workshops, lecture-performance, or experimental labs that blur the boundaries between art, science, design, and research. My installations act as both documentation and dialogue, inviting viewers to experience the slow, tactile processes of material transformation and to imagine alternative ways of making and being in the world.
