Visual artist that combines film, photography, poetry and found objects. Her practice resides at the interstice between personal memory and collective thought. Her work imagines memory as navigable space where meaning lies in witnessing the experience of the present as a continuous fabric of events in constant transformation. She is currently working on a documentary about the volition of matter to preserve memory.

The gaze is witness to the spaces that are built in the contours of the shadow. From the night specters emerge that transfigure memory. A remembrance of closed eyelids.

then turn tears to fires poster
NR

The body journeys into the night. The shadows produce gaps in the memory and there the losses are practised. The body observes itself as it portrays and represents itself. The work is an essay on the act of seeing. It is also an ode to digital noise, where the presence of the pixel embellishes the prosaic. ’then turn tears to fires' is a farewell letter, which preserves the memory of the author through video diaries.
