About
I am a transdisciplinary artist, working at intersection of art and science, with the themes of neurodivergence and disability in connection to geology and climate change. I work with non-human beyond the animal realm. I use materials found in both humans and Earth's bodies, such as metals, minerals, water, energy, etc. I aim to realise myself as a part of a superorganism - Earth, reduce my essence to a rock, and on the other hand, to give personhood to our planet.
i am a fisherman, a fish, a net, a river and a bear. i am a hunter, a shotgun, a bullet, and a dead body. i am an island, an ocean and a crying woman In this work, I reimagine hierarchy and relationships of the Sakhalin Island ecosystem, equalising all living forms and imagining them as one entity. This personal and vulnerable expression of grief and hope finds its voice in the letter that I read to the Sakhalin. In this message, I discuss how current Russian government actions and inactions affect Sakhalin: the overextraction of resources, mountains and fields of non-recycled garbage, and dead wildlife. I draw an animalistic connection from these decisions to the island's response to them, and by doing that, I aim to reinstate their personhood.
