Her Story

Her thing is to carry reality through her body and other physical phenomena.

She is self-taught, DIY based and she learns mostly by observing. She practices Vipassana (S.N.Goenka) meditation for 6 years already and her art is directly connected with her buddist refuge and practice of the loving-kindness.

For her art is a political action towards deeply ecological world.

She believes that being in contact with our own nature solves so many problems we have. Beauty is healing. Art is a language any human being can understand. So she embodies emptiness and it becomes space for that. She sculpts objects with empty space for people's personal processes. Take pictures by listening, not shooting. Offer her body as a vessel if she does performance or research.
