artist statement
My work begins in the body: whether I perform, sew textile sculptures, hold a camera or build immersive installations, I follow a felt, somatic sensation.
I am interested in the public space as a stage and to intervene through gesture and presence, expanding these strategies with sensitivity, playfulness and romance. These experiences form the basis of my long-term pratice into embodied collective strategies such as movement as a swarm, a shared aesthetic worn as a costume, choir techniques, collaborative poetry and cuddling on the street.
Each of my works begins with a performance that later transforms into video essays, soft sculptures or social installations. After the adrenalin rush of live action, I create horizontal, soft environments in the museum: spaces for resting, digesting, leaning. My textile works transform costumes into sculptural collages or blueprints of the performers’ bodies, forming collective shapes that visitors can inhabit.
I am deeply interested in what people feel, what they are concerned with and how collaborative artistic methods can give space to multiplicity and intersectionality.
Friendship, care and fair working conditions ground my practice. I understand ethics as a structural principle. Something not only represented in the final work but integrated in the daily relations of production.

➡️ see you on May 9 for 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐏𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐳𝐞𝐫: FEELING SEEN, Performance at 𝟓 𝐩.𝐦.
Duration: 40Min
What we feel and how we appear sometimes resist to align. Through movement and language - poetry and quoted text - this work holds three forces in tension: somatic experience, the economics of performance, and the machinery of image-making. A choreographic inquiry into the gesture that feels true because it has been practiced.
