In my work, I explore the intersection of gender, technology and environmental issues, drawing inspiration from the historical and contemporary dynamics of femininity, domesticity, and the role of technology in both shaping and obscuring these narratives. 

I am fusing traditional lathe-turned wood with contemporary elements like 3D-printed components and metal and result are colorful skulptures. In my practice, sound plays a pivotal role in transforming our surrounding into immersive, playful experiences. I explore how everyday, often overlooked materials like electricity or falling objects can be repurposed into instruments, giving them new life and sonic potential. This process reveals the hidden stories and poetic qualities within the mundane, encouraging a shift in perspective. 

I participated in various exhibitions and performances, at the Vienna Art Week, the Donaufestival, Steirischer Herbst, also including shows in China, India, and Japan. My soundworks had been aired on radia.fm and Austrian national radioprogram. The cassette “Love, Lullabies & Sleeplessness” was published with eminent observer incorporating sound recordings from my own experiences of motherhood. 

Alongside Kilian Jörg, I am working on “Toxic Temple”, a long-term philosophical project that speculatively engages with the themes of waste and pollution. The project was published as a book in 2022 by Edition Angewandte / de Gruyter.
