Our world is ever-accelerating – our bodies are not.
I explore the relationship between the human body and
the rapidly evolving world around us. As a highly
sensitive person, I experience this acceleration as overwhelming and abrasive, which fuels my search for
softer, more empathetic modes of interaction.
This pursuit shapes my curatorial practice, where I
strive to create moments of dialogue that can take the
form of conversational or sensory exchanges. I seek to
collaborate with artists who share a similar sensitivity
and whose practice embraces a democratic approach
where the voice of the material, the space, and the non-human entity is as significant as our own.
I am particularly drawn to
experimental publications as a way of expanding the
exhibition space and concept beyond its physical
boundaries.
Ultimately, my practice is a call for slowness, fragility,
and playfulness an intentional counterpoint to the
relentless pace of the modern world.
