A trans-disciplinary artist, I work across sculpture, video, installation, two-dimensional media, and performance. My conceptual, process-based practice explores questions of gender, memory, and the body - both personal and collective - through soft materials and techniques associated with traditional craft.

Knitting is a central element of my work. I approach it not only as a material practice but also as a bodily and social gesture. Like writing, knitting follows a thread of thought; its repetitive movements and interconnected stitches become a way of tracing narratives, memories, and relationships.

The tactile qualities of textiles create an entry point into complex and often challenging subjects, while craft traditions evoke notions of collectivity, intergenerational exchange, and cultural transmission. Drawing on research and archival materials, my work investigates the space between history and memory, using artistic intervention to reimagine and reconstruct overlooked narratives.
