Her works respond to our built environments and investigate how perception is shaped through lived spatial experience.

Thesis Exhibition
Artist Statement: My practice investigates how space conditions perception through unstable and misaligned structures. Working between urban and domestic contexts, I construct installations that interrupt functional logic, slipping between openness and obstruction, stability and fragility. Using materials such as translucent fabrics, metal grating, and wire, I build layered compositions where planes shift as viewers move. Making becomes a way of reclaiming agency, and through it I seek to reconsider what is given and how it structures our understanding of reality.
