She is an artist who works in the intersections of dance, choreography, filming and editing. The core method of her work is a synthesis of moving to coexist and connect, and a practice of filming in order to move/dance, exist and shift her point of view. Her interest starts from the different ways of perceiving and documenting a dancing body through a camera frame, forwards to absorbing kinesis in the surrounding environment, and derives in places of experimentation with the subject, rhythm, pace and synthesis, regardless the purpose. Her major stimulus is making sense of the senses through movement and filming. She works with the camera as a tool, as well as a connecting device, that helps extend the borders of how she thinks and feels the world around her.
