My practice unfolds at the intersection of dance, performance, and visual art, with the boundaries of the body as a central subject throughout my work. I am captivated by the rhythms embedded in everyday life, found in moments of tension and release, contraction and expansion, repetition and interruption. These rhythms inform both the structure and the physical language of my work. I approach art as a space for contemplation and sensory awareness. My work moves between conveying states of chaos and fragmentation, and creating monumental expressions of calm, stillness, and duration. I am interested in how these opposing conditions coexist, both within the body and in the environments we inhabit, and how meaning emerges in the shifting spaces between them. Working across mediums, I engage with movement, material, and spatial composition to investigate presence, endurance, and transformation. The body functions not only as a subject, but also as a site of labor, memory, and negotiation. Through performance and installation, I explore how gestures accumulate, dissolve, and reconfigure over time. My current focus examines the commodification of labor, the body, and personal time within contemporary systems of production. I question how value is assigned to physical and emotional effort, and how these structures shape our relationship to ourselves and to others. In parallel, my work considers the complex interplay between humans and their environments, particularly in relation to ecological imbalance and disconnection.
Through my practice, I aim to create immersive and reflective experiences that invite audiences to slow down, observe, and reconsider their relationship to time, space, and the natural world. By navigating between intensity and stillness, I seek to open a space for critical reflection, embodied awareness, and the possibility of change.
