Her practice centres on emotional perception and lived experience, using drawing as a way to think through encounters with place, movement, and change. Rather than working with fixed narratives or descriptive representation, she explores how images can carry internal states such as connection, disorientation, and transformation.
Through illustration and site-responsive work, she investigates the relationship between inner experience and external environments. Her images function as sensory structures, inviting viewers to feel rather than decode meaning, and to engage with the complexity of contemporary lived experience.
