She often works collaboratively and believes that the collective strength produces far better results than a lone artist. With this in mind, she initiated the collaborative model, TO THE POWER OF. In a recent iteration with four other creatives, they built a life-size marble machine/rube goldberg hybrid for Street of Clans festival as part of Singapore Design Week 2019.
In her work, she is also drawn to the human body and its gestures — the embodied possibilities of expression — and uses a multidisciplinary approach to evoke an bodily presence that is greater than the sum of its parts. She welcomes thinkers and practitioners from various fields to collaborate on her ongoing research on the body. To find out more, please visit Body Reassembly.
