My works are strongly connected to my upbringing as the daughter of a factory owner. The industrial park is a site that evokes both familiarity and detachment, due to the early separation of family, which inspired me to explore the disrupted experiences that occur in mundane public spaces. Through rediscovering neglected spaces and unnoticed crowds, I began to demonstrate the phenomenon of systematic disconnection between objects, spaces, and beings.
