I care for life and those that are close to everyday living. With sensitivity to power dynamics in various aspects within the capitalistic landscape, my attention lands on affective dimensions that carries either violent or formative forces, holding the potential to change the trajectories of each living being as part of an inextricably linked ecosystem. I sense in my daily observations the precarity of our being conditioned by hyperbolic expansion of human knowledges and modern way of sustaining life. That catalyze my desire to seek for alternative modes of being, relating to other bodies and the world, distanced from accustomed that is shaped by colonial and anthropocentric perspectives. My artistic practice is a collection of re-imaginations of alternative domestic and ecological landscapes for coexistence. Often in the form of site-responsive installations, sculptural furniture, sound, photography, scent, or performative everyday gestures, the works engage the senses beyond the visual. I see my works as attempts to restore the rhythm and weight of our existence by offering soft meeting points of different bodies that carry possibilities to envelop or inhabit the visitors in that momentary space. Through these attempts I seek the possibility that life and art can be entangled as one.
