Performance extends the research into the body. Whether moving, writing for the stage, or playing the cello, I approach each medium as an equal compositional element, where text, sound, gesture, silence, and movement coexist. My work investigates the body's emotional landscapes alongside its anatomical and rhythmic intelligence, embracing performance as a space where instinct and reflection meet.
Universe of Personal Desire is a solo performance that traces a life from birth to death through fragments of autobiography—some remembered, some imagined. Blending dance, movement, voice, and text, the work explores the shifting territory between memory, fiction, and lived experience.
The performance is comprovised: composed and improvised at once. It unfolds within a loose framework—a scenario that provides direction while leaving space for intuition, chance, and the present moment.
As a result, no two iterations are the same. Each performance carries traces of those that came before while opening new possibilities, allowing the work to evolve as an ongoing artistic practice.

Created during an artistic residency at FARMSTUDIO in Vysoká, Czech Republic, this improvisation emerged through sustained engagement with the surrounding landscape, the rhythm of daily practice, and the openness that residency time affords.
Rather than presenting a finished work, the performance documents a moment within an ongoing process of research. Movement, voice, and attention respond to the environment, allowing the space itself to become an active collaborator.

Draft is a meta-reflective screendance experiment that turns the creative process into the work itself. Rather than concealing the making, the film exposes it: the research, the detours, the failed attempts, the imperfections, and the friction of creating across distance.
As the fourth wall dissolves, the work shifts from polished presentation to self-reflection. It inhabits the space between handcrafted filmmaking and the visual language of social media, questioning how artistic processes are framed, shared, and consumed.
What happens when research is no longer hidden behind the finished work? Draft invites the audience into the unfinished, revealing creation as an open practice rather than a completed product.
