I try to experiment and reimagine the concept of home in these installations using cardboard and sound. I often install unedited recordings as sound pieces within installations, in which a montage takes place between the physical environment, its architectural/material characteristics, and the position of the listening body.

Attention to dialogue is a key point across my work; I specifically explore casual conversations and storytelling as inspiration for my practice. To me, an everyday conversation seamlessly carries knowledge, personhood, and history in ways that I can use, both as material and subject matter in my work.
