Early works such as (Dis)continuity (2012), Living with Uncommon Value (2012), The Price of Inequality (2015), and The ‘End of History’ Will Not Come Tomorrow (2022) examined ideological and economic conditions that structure social life.
Since 2013, her ongoing collaboration with an African Grey parrot named Beuys has become central to her practice. This long-term relationship has opened questions around authorship, animal intelligence, communication, and forms of agency beyond human frameworks.
Recent works, including Making Shadows Speak, Gilded Silence, and The Web of Time, presented in the solo exhibition Remnants of Fading Shadows (2025) at the Art Centre, Silpakorn University, explore multispecies witnessing, ecological disappearance, and historical memory.
Her current research extends toward perception, orientation, gravity, time, and planetary relations. Through writing, field observation, and experimental moving image and installation, including the Bodies of Force project, she examines how different forms of life perceive and respond to forces that shape movement and orientation within broader environmental and cosmic conditions.
