I am a multidisciplinary artist working across visual arts, auto-fiction, and speculative futures to explore memory, migration, and intergenerational inheritance. Rooted in a sensitivity to nature, my practice traces shifting boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, weaving together personal and collective narratives.
After the birth of my son in 2021, I transitioned from a background in design and innovation into my art and writing practice. Since fully shifting in 2024, and alongside my studies at the Rietveld Academie, I’ve been developing a practice grounded in experimentation, embodied experience, and the critical use of technology. Increasingly, this includes sonic, performative, and installation-based approaches that activate spatial and sensory dimensions of my work, deepening its exploration of presence, relation, and transformation.
