Statement
My artistic practice explores vulnerability and its manifestations on both personal and structural levels. For me, the body is a political stage and as a physical and mental archive of experiences. To reveal the layers of intersectionality and inheritance that shape experience, I use autobiography as a tool and address themes that span gender-based violence, migration, and racism.
My research focuses particularly on child abuse, maltreatment, and domestic violence, exploring their connection to trauma and memory.
In my work, I investigate and interweave various visual media such as photography, with performance and language to come up with images and narratives that allow to trace the effects of trauma caused by experiences of violence. I aim to generate evidence that makes visible how power structures operate from the individual to the systemic level. Because naming and questioning are methods that ultimately aim at resisting the normalization of violence.

Statement
My artistic practice explores vulnerability in relation to the human condition. I see the body as a political stage, carrying experiences that shape both the material and mental body. Through my work, I deconstruct violence—unraveling how it manifests in our bodies, our memories, and the images that surround us.
Using autobiography as a tool, I reveal the layers of intersectionality that shape my experience—from gender-based violence to the transnational violence of migration and racism. But my work is not just about my own story. By exposing these structures, I seek to create spaces for collective reflection, spaces where we can critically engage with the images and narratives that perpetuate violence.
I investigate the effects of trauma caused by experiences of violence. Through my work, I aim to generate evidence of its impact on the body and memory and examine its relationship to dominant power structures. By deconstructing violence, I look for ways to name it, question it, and ultimately resist its normalization.
