Through images, text, collage, and archival materials, she investigates borders, memory practices, and the body as a site of lived experience. Often moving outward from her family biographies, her work stems from an interest in stories and in how context and time shape the meaning we make of them. She works primarily with analog photography, embracing slowness and scarcity as both method and way of looking. She has exhibited internationally, including at Villa Oppenheim, Bivy, PhMuseum Days, and the Rotterdam Photo Festival. Alongside her artistic practice, she works as a freelance photographer and facilitates image-based workshops focused on artists' books and collaborative learning.
