Observing and recording moments of change, boundaries, and coexistence.
She attends to moments that are neither fully revealed nor fixed—dwelling in-between, in flux: the process of formal transformation, the instant when physical force is at work, the subtle state before sensation reaches certainty, and the site where different beings meet. The artist translates these moments through three-dimensional installation, video, and photography, configuring her work around states and processes rather than finalized outcomes.
