Artist Statement

The world feels like a divide - a crossroads of rupture and longing. My work opens windows into both paths: one shaped by feminist rage, despair, and the aching grief for our earth, for each other, and for all who are marginalized. The other path carries a soft resistance: tenderness, longing, and a lingering magic. Like harbingers from another realm, my objects, paintings and gestures appear - fragments of a world trying to mend.

I resist singularity. My expression spans performance, video, installation, and object-based work, guided by process and instinct. I travel through cinematic, symbolic forms - color and shape - and translate raw, fleeting moments into visual languages that speak plainly, yet hold deeper metaphorical weight. Whether I lie in a bed of stones (State of Woman), try to hold the moon close (Lasso and the Moon), or send lashes to strangers to make a wish upon, each gesture becomes a small offering, both personal and collective.

Two themes echo through my work: Don’t kill your tender heart and Il patriarcato è finito (Patriarchy is Over). What is rage? What is love? What is grief? What shape is hope?

These questions unfold in pieces like State of Woman and Cocoon, always rooted in natural environments. I want my harbingers - magical objects, mobiles, garments, flags, tents - to be grounded in our world. That is why I perform outdoors, often using natural materials like bamboo sticks, stones, sand, and mud, weaving the magical with the earthly.

We move through the world believing our stories are alone. Yet longing, loss, hope, grief, and love are shared patterns, universal and chemical.
