Time changes perspectives. What we value and accept as legitimate today can age old and ill with time. At unprecedented speed the mechanics of humans and technology intertwine, we now run in a faster clock. In constant confrontation with change and unpredictability, people may find their fundamental purpose and meanings in life with philosophy, science, religion, love of others and more.
I find comfort in isolating inner layers of deep discomfort rooted in existence and deconstructing them to observe what lies behind. Then I take elements that I can deform to what I can articulate in words. I use audio-visual design, live performances with A.I., creative coding, 3D modeling and electronics that allow others to physically approach and interact with places of comfort in a closer range. With this process I begin to understand why we find reality unsettling yet we thrive on fears of uncertainty and in my works I celebrate it.
Artist Statement ‘22
Cross Dimensional Space
2024
NL
Cross Dimensional Space explores the connection between body and mind through a play of tension.
With the unprecedented speed at which humans and technology intertwine, our minds crave limitless growth. In a world where she struggles to identify a coherent belief system, the artist turns to self-discipline and physical ritual to anchor down her floating mind. Using Shibari techniques the artist explores the co-dependence of restriction and liberation, and thereby begins to balance the tension between body and mind.
A comfort emerges through the process of turning mindless action into routine. Slowly and unwaveringly, it transforms the fear of the unknown into a place of home.

- Repositioning KABK: What is the shifting role of artists and institutions in the post-post-post…-post-internet age?
- Thesis
- 2024
This thesis sits itself in the ecosystem of Dutch and European contemporary art which inhabits institutions, academies, art students, artists, and the internet. It questions the current functionality and ethics of the legacy affiliated with the capital power and hierarchical system in institutions, and their lack of discourse and attention to the effects of the rhizomatic landscape of the internet. As a student of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague, in the Netherlands (KABK), I attempt in Repositioning KABK, especially investigating what the shifting role of art students and art institutions in the post-post-post-…-post-internet age.
Butterfly Dream
2024
Fei is in her early 20s, who hit her ‘second puberty’. She struggles to find faith as her body and mind are paralysed to constant overconsumption of media and endless representations. She lives in a cross dimensional space where her memories, dreams, social media stream, and the new interference of A.I. intertwine with themselves inextricably. Desensitised in every neurone, her reality starts to distort into surrealistic compositions and imaginations. Will she ever wake up from what it seems to be one long lucid dream?
