As a conceptual multidisciplinary artist, my practice spans sculpture, installations, and mixed media, challenging the traditional boundaries often placed on artists.


Drawing from my life experiences and global events, my work addresses the struggles of human existence and the biases that permeate both personal and socio-political spheres. Aligned with feminist ideology, political engagement, and self-reflexivity, my art delves into inquiries about gender, identity, and equality, reflecting on the fragility and preciousness of human reality.


My work focuses on death, aging, and the fragility of the body on a social, political and personal level; revealing a fearless engagement with the cycles of existence. These three subjects open the doors to vulnerability, resilience, and transformation, vital to the human experience. 


While deeply personal, my work also speaks to broader, and universally relevant themes. What matters most to me is creating work that cultivates dialogue revealing what is unjust and what often remains hidden.
