I thrive on collaboration and exploring language, culture, and human connection. My practice focuses on experimental, interdisciplinary, performance-based projects often involving diverse social groups and cultures. I use participatory methods to connect people beyond the arts to the creative process, addressing socially relevant issues through storytelling, collecting, and shared experiences.

I aim to make complex ideas accessible by transforming idiosyncratic stories, societal processes, and academic concepts into playful, tangible allegories and visual experiences. Whether through performance, photography, video, or installation, my work often incorporates drawing, text, and handmade objects, creating spaces for dialogue and reflection at the intersection of art and activism.
