My current work focuses on exploring the fluidity of identity at the intersection of digital and physical spaces. I experiment with how we reconstruct and express ourselves in the digital world, studying the impact of technologies like AI on identity. In this process, I pose questions about how the digital self reflects, transforms, merges, and distorts the essence of humanity.

My key project, Echoia, visually represents the phenomenon of the fusion between humans and AI, offering audiences the opportunity to reconsider what digital identity is at the boundary between analog and digital. In this work, digital identity is not static but constantly reshaped and redefined by personal movements and interactions.Within the framework of ‘fluid identity,’ my work observes various entities from multiple perspectives. I examine the contradictions that arise when anthropocentric thinking narrows our perception of objects and, in turn, highlight the invisible within that viewpoint, assigning it new attributes.

Through web-based and virtual environments, digital video, and installation work, I explore the fusion of analog and digital, connecting experiences between the virtual and real worlds and probing the boundaries of these spaces through media projects.

This work encapsulates the idea of nature collapsing due to external factors, yet naturally healing and recovering despite that. I depicted the process of nature healing itself after being disrupted by humans through the movement of particles, and conveyed the ambiguous yet powerful messages emanating from nature.

The work was created for the annual 'Lichter der City' in the city of Bremen and was exhibited from December 29, 2023 to January 14, 2024 at the HfK music building in Domshiede.
