Her visual practice explores the intersection of social politics and emotional embodiment, examining how personal experience shapes collective narratives through the integration of feminist and queer care practices. Her creative process involves constructing speculative environments where communal bonding contributes to a sustained healing journey, acknowledging the connection and interdependence between communities and their non-human fellows.
Her curatorial practice shares the view through this holistic lens, in which she organises gatherings, including workshops, reading groups and material exchanges that revolve on different contemporary urgencies, in the framework of her ongoing project ‘The Kinship Cookbook’. These events are designed to initiate a sense of collective care and provide a platform for envisioning alternative futures.
Currently a part of the postgraduate program Curatorial Studies at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent, Belgium.

Home is Where the Heart is (a collective recipe)
An object slowly floating lands in the palm of my hands, merging with the how that has been given to me in a continuous cycle of valuable exchange. As we cook, we remember the kinship we form through thinking together, otherwise – constructing a world in which communities are not seen as labels. Let this polyphony of scents invite you to experience the imaginative possibilities of a simple exchange of recipes.
‘Home is Where the Heart’ is has connected 10 individuals into a collective being which attended the first gathering of my ongoing project ‘The Kinship Cookbook’, called Home Sweet Home. Through reading and writing together, following a performance from one of the participants, creating an ephemeral in-situ installation with personal offerings and a collective dinner, we set off to rethink the domestic as a transformative space of diverse values. Through these collective moments, the participants wrote recipes which later on I activate through performance, sculptural interventions and installation – accentuating the necessity of embracing our queer kinships and exploring diverse embodiments of human and non-human nature.
