By staging bodies and cameras,
she highlights the hidden dynamics of social life.
Her artistic practice was significantly influenced
by her travels to Senegal from 2021 to the present,
where she developed her non-western collective
approach through programs at "École des Sables"
integrating diverse cultural perspectives.

Her artistic practice includes curating
urban spaces into museum-like environments,
with happenings at the Stadtmuseum Düsseldorf,

Through her interdisciplinary approach,
she enriches the contemporary art scene
and fosters dialogue about identity,
honoring her own migrational narrative.
