About My Work
I am passionate about exploring the depths of life and gathering experiences that enrich my understanding of the world.
Curiosity is my compass; I am constantly learning, guided by the pursuit of truth, beauty, and wonder.
Love is the agitator behind my art, influencing how I interact with and perceive the world. I am unafraid to say “I LOVE” and to let that emotion guide my creative path.
My work centers on the female body and its power in motion—expressed through short documentaries, films, immersive video installations, dance performances, and other interdisciplinary forms.
I strive to create art that inspires, that invites change and contemplation of the natural world, and that offers insight into what it means to be human.
