Through my transdisciplinary practice that combines text, image and performance, I explore the liminality present in the mundane everyday life. Drawing on writing practices, I create spaces—publications, performative installations, online listening environments—that demand radical presence, encourage slowing down, and foster connection.
I approach text as both a material and a performative medium, taking inspiration from the interplay between the physical and the ephemeral found in ancient Greek theatre. For me, text is not a static object but a living, evolving practice—a foundation for embodied experiences that demand presence and audience's active stance. To create such spaces I rely on interplay of such mediums as installation, publication, analogue photography, sound art and performance.
As a migrant woman myself, I often work with auto-fiction and I am interested in the contemporary disturbing proximity between the mundane and the violent, between belonging and not-belonging. I focus on artworks that encourage the audiences to interact with the objects, the space and to become their co-creators. With my work I resist the isolating effects of hyperconnectivity and the attention economy. Rooted in a feminist perspective, I view writing and reading as liberatory tools—gentle waves of words capable of provoking radical shifts in discourse.
