These works where exhibited at EKA gallery in Tallinn, Estonia as a pat of the exhibition “composeâ— decompose” curated by artists Inessa Saarits and Victoria Björk
"Submerges deep into a cyclical narrative of growth, decay, and renewal. Through the works of thirteen artists, the exhibition traces along the fragile balance of care and control.
The exhibition brings to light the hidden and often overlooked elements of our ecosystem— microscopic creatures, plant matter and organic systems that thrive beneath the surface of our mundane. Here Composition and decomposition do not appear as opposites, but rather as entangled acts of shaping and unshaping, of tending and of letting go.
The participating artists work with various ways to either mimic- or closely collaborate with the processes of the natural world. In this exhibition the artists dream about composing and decomposing. They dream about listening to, remembering and reimagining narratives that collaborate with insects, animals, plants, and microorganisms."

"Her sculptures and installations become meditations on transformation, responsibility, and interconnectedness. Her man-made creatures question Western constructs such as “natural,” “human” and “animal,” urging reflection on the sustainability of systems and the dysfunctions that arise within them. In a world of overstimulation, her sculptures foreground the intimate bonds between humans and more-than-human beings. Sounds drawn from the artist’s own microbiome travel through fired clay, inviting the viewer to come close and engage. Through a sensorial encounter, her work fosters interspecies empathy and gently reminds us of our interconnectedness with the living world—both within and beyond us."
