The fields and theories that influence her work include&nbsp;trauma-informed design, living heritage, anarchism, ornamentalism, somatic movement, critical studies, and feminist new materialism. Her artistic practice circles identity and embodiment through their racialized, gendered, and artificial edges: the fuzzy space between subject/object, ornament/human, and body/image. Her work has recently been shown at Vancouver Central Library &amp; Granville Island as part of All Over the Map by New Works Dance [2026], Luna Arts Festival [2025], Bachir/Yerex Presentation Space [2022], Design at Riverside Gallery [2022], the Art Gallery of Mississauga [2022], Stackt Market [2021], and the Art Gallery of Peterborough [2020].&nbsp; Currently reading: Trauma-Informed Design: A Framework for Designers, Architects, and Other Practitioners, Edited by: C.A.A.Cowart, J.E.Roche, A.Erdman, Dr. J.
