Research
She is building experiential creations on love and intimacy that decentralize Romance. This means creating a disruptive narrative to the commercialization, fantasization, and colonization of love.
She does this by collecting alternative materials on love cross-culturally; conducting workshops where participants gain experiential knowledge on non-romantic-based love; then transforming these data with craft and technology to create a new representation of love.
