Her work lives in the space between memory and myth, where fragments of memory collide with established archives. To access what has been lost, she turns to the body and its afterimages — tracing how bodies unfold in fragmented visual landscapes: in flesh, in clay, in plastic, and in broken syntax.
She is currently developing Olla ei mistään kotoisin (Of No Origin), a research-based zine and exhibition series on absence and illegibility as portals for alternative knowledge systems, supported by the Kone Foundation. She is also the co-founder and curator of Galleria Kuu-si (galleriakuusi.com).
During her residency at Hamuro mAiR, she will develop a site-responsive chapter of this ongoing project through focused research, material experimentation, and exchanges with communities.
She will explore traditional Japanese tombo-dama glass bead-making, rethinking the fragmented time captured through slow, repetitive manual work, and collect visual and textual fragments through walking, photographing, recording, and writing, while engaging in conversations with international communities. These processes will guide her future sculptural works, curatorial research, and upcoming issues of the OEMK zine.
The residency is organized in collaboration with Hamuro-kai (@hamurokai).
