She is a collaborative partner in the project Limbic Resonance alongside Kopano Maroga, which attempts to unearth the city’s untold story through personal narrative.

Her work focuses on investigations in the in-between spaces of disciplines - where it should exist - and on notions of emotional landscapes of urban realities, which she integrates with my current practice and knowledge.
