My work is an embodied exploration of what it means to survive through the body. Treating the body as a site where violence, control, desire, and repair leave their mark, my practice moves between public actions, intimate durational performances involving surgical procedures, and installations in drawing, video, and sculpture. Engaging Sudaca feminism, decolonial aesthetics, and questions of radical autonomy, I approach the body as a posthuman interface—one that can be redesigned under pressure, scarred and reconfigured, yet still capable of transformation. My long-term investigation into physical processes imagines the corporeal as a contested field shaped by trauma and the state, while searching for forms of liberation, ritual, and somatic repair.
