She approaches art as a system of visual and performative language, weaving together painting, printmaking, and performance to examine the interplay of personal experience, mystical thought, and social critique.

These events emphasized interaction, ritual, and the transformation of space, engaging audiences as participants in experimental artistic experiences.
