SELECTED WORK
1. PRAYERHUNTER: Gaze Study
(fragment), 2026
PRAYERHUNTER: Gaze Study is a photographic investigation into the gaze as a learned social performance. Through a series of standardized portraits, participants respond to verbal instructions such as "look desirable," "look powerful," or "look harmless." By isolating the eyes and removing most contextual information, the project examines how femininity, vulnerability, authority, and desire are communicated through subtle visual cues. Rather than documenting identity, PRAYERHUNTER explores how identity is consciously performed, rehearsed, and recognized through the gaze.
2.
The Self-Surveillance Protocol, 2026
The Self-Surveillance Protocol documents the repetitive act of self-measurement as a system of behavioral control. Through a series of standardized photographs depicting the artist's feet on a scale over an extended period, the work transforms a private ritual into an archive. Each image functions as a record within an ongoing protocol, exposing how contemporary ideals of discipline, self-optimization, and bodily control become internalized through everyday acts of monitoring. Rather than documenting weight loss, the project examines self-surveillance as a continuous performance in which the body becomes both subject and object of observation.
3.
Memento Innocentiae, 2025
Memento Innocentiae explores the emotional distance created when human lives are reduced to statistics. Through a fragile installation of handmade paper figures, the work gives physical form to anonymous masses while emphasizing individual vulnerability. The childlike quality of the figures reflects innocence and the impact of social crises on younger generations. The repetitive process of creating them becomes a reflection on time, empathy, and the difficulty of comprehending collective suffering.
4. Performance of femininity, 2024
The video explores the performativity of female identity and the societal pressures that shape women’s appearance and behavior. Through interviews and footage of daily beauty routines, it examines how patriarchal expectations are internalized and how women navigate the tension between self-acceptance and the need to conform to ideals of femininity.
`
5. Ballerina, 2025
Ballerina is a looping digital animation depicting a female figure continuously rotating around a pole. Through repetition and the absence of narrative progression, the work reflects on performance, endurance, and the cyclical nature of gendered roles. The endless loop transforms a graceful gesture into a mechanical action, questioning where performance ends and identity begins.
