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.
