オランダ ハーグ王立芸術アカデミー Interactive/Media/Design科にて、アジアおよび日本建築における「空間のあいまいさ」や「間」の概念に着目し、文化的背景に依存する知覚の差異に関心を持つ。在学中に妊娠・出産を経験し、当時のヨーロッパ情勢の中で移民として子育てをする中で、相互理解なき共存のためのストラテジー「AWASED」を考案。リサーチと実践に基づき、文化的摩擦と哲学的連想についてのインスタレーション、パフォーマンス、ワークショップを展開する。
コロナ禍に対面での活動が制限される中で、表現活動をインスタレーションやスタティックなアートワークに広げ、人間の感覚と振る舞い、消費活動を通じてストラテジーを共有する可能性を模索した作品を提案。
また、母親として日常的に直面する「時間の欠如」そのものを制作上のフレームワークとし、断片的な思考や制限された環境から立ち上がる表現を、自身の方法論として積極的に作品へ取り込んでいる。
2023年より黄金町アーティスト・イン・レジデンスに参加中。
Graduated from the Interactive/Media/Design department at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK), where she focused on the ambiguity of space and the concept of ma (間) in Asian and Japanese architecture. Her work explores differences in perception shaped by cultural context. During her studies, she experienced pregnancy and childbirth, and while raising a child as an immigrant under the socio-political climate of Europe, she formulated AWASED—a strategy for coexistence without mutual understanding.
Grounded in both research and practice, her work spans installations, performances, and workshops that address cultural friction and philosophical associations.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, as face-to-face interaction became limited, she expanded her practice into installations and static artworks. These works explored how strategies could be shared through sensory experience, human behavior, and acts of consumption.
She also integrates into her methodology the framework of “temporal scarcity,” a condition she encounters daily as a mother. By treating fragmented thought and restricted circumstances not as limitations but as fertile ground, she actively incorporates these elements into her artistic process.
Since 2023, she has been a participant in the Koganecho Artist-in-Residence program in Yokohama, Japan.
