Field research & direct experience. Socially engaged art developed at the intersection of visual art, journalism, and storytelling. Her practice is built around a drive to tell stories that connect with her experience as an Eastern European woman living a rather nomadic life throughout Europe. She extracts her themes directly from her nomad life though Europe, creating work on the way, within the encountered spatial and temporal restrictions, concerned with the poetics of the everyday, employing minimal gestures and observational precision to create spaces of quiet resilience when facing unfamiliar or shifting environments.
