Contemporary





From intimate observation into public gesture


My contemporary work explores the fragile architectures of connection — how we appear, relate, and sometimes disappear within social space. Through public interventions, participatory acts, and quiet performances, I examine intimacy, absence, and shared presence as materials in themselves






Missing (public intervention) — Posters of four missing people were installed across a small resort town. The work occupied the civic space between care and spectacle: when does looking become an act?
Food Performance (participatory event) — Cooking during exhibition openings becomes a shared ritual of nourishment and communication. The act of preparing and offering food turns the gallery into a domestic threshold, dissolving the line between artist and audience.

Rituals (durational performance)


Over nine hours, I lit more than a thousand candles — a slow act of witnessing the last four years of my life. Each flame marked a moment, a memory, a fragment of grief or gratitude. The repetition became both meditation and exhaustion, a physical translation of endurance and release. In the end, what remained was light, smoke, and silence — traces of time made visible.
