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.

Transcendental Sympathy / Tales of the soil
We ground ourselves in a new cloak of light. The sound of the soil carries us to new discoveries. We exist together in a land of pulsating rhythm, where many tales form, only to show what we have already known. Visceral and abundant, we listen to our bodies as we listen to nature. Guided by our zeitgeist, we embrace time in its true mystical essence.
How do we listen? How do we experience and connect? How do we form bonds with our communities and our spiritual essence? ‘Transcendental Sympathy’ becomes a ‘Tale of the Soil’, and invites us to feel and play, and explore the possible futures of our personal utopias.
