Her installations, sculptures, and performances explore the complexities of digital society and its relationship to cultural phenomena and societal change. Using voices—both human and artificial—as starting points, she investigates the threads that connect us as humans, examining shared histories and collective identity. She creates abstract, colour-filled environments using materials such as sound, lighting gels, agar, and glass, reducing the world to light and sound. Through analogue forms, she questions the systems that shape our digital realities, often working in dialogue with sociologists, researchers, and computer scientists to inform her practice. At its core, her work is rooted in linguistic anthropology and our emotional responses to colour.
