Investigating the liminal zones between human and technological systems.
Forensic reconstruction, biomedical ethics, and speculative fiction through installation and sculpture.
Intro
My practice operates at the intersection of forensic reconstruction, biomedical ethics, and speculative fiction. Working across sculpture, installation, and research-based documentation, I investigate the liminal zones where human bodies intersect with technological systems, zones where mortality becomes legible through material residue.

Work
Across the Death Trilogy and earlier bio-art research, I engage with real-world cases of technological failure and medical malpractice, reconstructing key elements through hyper-realistic materials while introducing fictional interventions that expose gaps between documented reality and lived experience.

my CV

Working with a clinical researcher's methodology, she treats anatomy, pathology, and surgery not only as sources of aesthetic imagery but as frameworks for understanding the ideas, processes, and techniques the body undergoes. Her work has been supported by multiple research and work grants from the Mondriaan Fund.
