"My works gyrate around the possibilities of alternative narratives, exploring the concept of what is seen against what is being experienced. My performance delve between comfort and unease, restlessness and solace, remembering and forgetting, loss and recovery; creating tension between opposites.

I’m always fascinated with the extraordinary every-day, the daily: its subtlety and strangeness and how we maneuver around it, transforming experiences to memories that can be archived and remembered by the body.

I am in constant collaboration with the many “me” inside “myself”."
