Her most recent project, titled "Liquid Connections," unfolds across multiple exhibitions and encompasses the production of a film, as well as a spatial installation and a live performance. The project's inception lies in a dense, poetic text collage sourced from scientific literature, speculative fiction, and pop culture references. Within this collage, the artist explores the interconnectedness between water and the human body, delving into questions of origin and the existential threat posed by climate change.
In her text, the rising sea levels due to global warming are envisioned as a speculative return to water, contemplating the potential for human transformation into a "multispecies" entity better equipped to face future challenges.
