My practice explores watery spaces as sites of entanglement, where bodies, beings, and matter are shaped by the sublime beauty of nature as well as by derogatory anthropogenic processes. Working through a feminist

posthuman lens, I examine how monstrosity and abjection emerge at borders.

Drawing on ecofeminist and posthuman theory, I understand the sea as both material and metaphor: a feminized primordial mother of myth systems. She contains monsters, sirens, and existential abyss. The ocean embodies a living archive of anthropogenic violence. My work traces parallels between the visual-cultural production of the monstrous feminine and ecological abjection, asking how patriarchal and neoliberal systems generate and sustain both. In this context, the monstrous is not only a site of horror, but a generative force; one that enables new assemblages of existence and relation.

Through photography, sound art and expanded textiles I create acts of becoming: becoming water, becoming other, becoming imperceptible. These works employ a world-building aesthetic that responds to experiences of

outsider-ness and re-imagines subjectivity as porous, relational, and fluid. Assemblage, affect, and metamorphosis are central to this process.
