ordinary normal is a video installation that explores how technology shapes self-perception, memory, and daily life. It centers on the quiet rituals of self-documentation, morning routines, meals, moments alone, and how these acts become performances under the constant gaze of the camera.

As a single woman in my 30s, seggs is a deeply personal work delving into the intimate and intrusive process of egg-freezing, the intersection between feminine flesh and technology.

The female body is born with a million eggs, yet the path to conception is marked by fragility and improbability. In egg-freezing, every step of the way is fraught with chances of non-materialisation. It is a snapshot of the body at that point of time, where it is goaded into overdrive to produce an unnatural number of eggs. Some eggs aren't up to par, others perish in freezing, and plenty more disintegrate during the thawing process.

self-portrait

2025Info

self-portrait is an ongoing video series that explores the tension between self-documentation and capitalism. Interrogating wellness culture, the artist films herself repetitively doing pull-ups. The footage is then transformed through a real-time generative process in TouchDesigner, collapsing each moment into a singular, evolving image.

Single-channel video, projection, participatory synthetic video engine, site specific.
