As a visual artist, I work on the themes of female physicality, violence, intimacy, gender roles and body boundaries in the media of installation, object, and collage.

My current works are mostly characterized by highly repetitive, craft production processes that can be continued indefinitely. This concept of endless repetition in terms of content and material has developed in my work through my engagement with violence and inequality.

It is based on the idea that states of violation, questions of security and the constant re-exploration of intimacy and bodily boundaries must be eternally re-examined, negotiated and, if necessary, changed. Therefore, they need an artistic translation that can co-evolve in the long term and keep asking questions.
