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.
