Born and raised in a region marked by industrial and natural landscapes, she draws on personal history and surrounding environments to shape her investigations of craft and context. Her projects frequently unfold over time, incorporating site-specific elements and collaborative actions that emphasize dialogue and atmosphere. Her practice is noted for its quiet rigor, contemplative pacing, and a commitment to material integrity.
