Recent artistic practice begins in the private sphere, gradually immersing into the public realm through research, observation, material handling, and conceptual exploration, creating a dialogue between the self and the other. The work often presents a light, fluid, and even ephemeral quality, inviting the audience to explore the subtle interactions within, thus reconstructing bodily perception and resisting the absurdity of grand narratives.

It also pays attention to the integration of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary contexts, transforming it into a means of expressing a contemporary perspective in response to current social issues. The artist has initiated multiple long-term projects surrounding the relationship between humans and textiles, focusing on the fragility of ecosystems, exploring the divine connection with nature, and turning its minutiae into a poetic space—like animals quietly climbing, broken yet transient.

The creative process is also seen as a form of writing interwoven through text, actions, materials, images, craftsmanship, workshops, exhibitions, and performances.
