My work explores personal and universal themes of motherhood, women, gender relations, memory, the body, and the diverse experiences of individuals, including those affected by displacement and conflict.

 

Utilizing a variety of media - including films, installations, paintings, and photography - I create pieces that draw from both personal and collective experiences. My approach is deeply personal and introspective, often inspired by the challenges faced by others, as well as those I have encountered in my own journey.

 

As both a woman and an artist, I am committed to creating platforms and collaborations that foster new discourse and challenge oppression and injustice within different communities. My experiences as a mother and my feminist values allow me to address a broad range of issues.

 

I am particularly passionate about supporting vulnerable communities of women, such as survivors of sexual violence and wartime rape, who continue to face social stigmas. Born in Kosovo, I moved to London in 1997 to study Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. During the Kosovo War of 1998-1999, I became a refugee in the UK.

 

Currently, I live and work in London, collaborating on art projects throughout Europe and beyond. My art utilises its transformative and restorative power as a vehicle for raising awareness, empowering, and giving a platform to survivors of sexual violence in conflict, encouraging them to come forward and speak up.

​It is important to note that some of the themes I explore in my work, such as sexual violence and wartime rape, can be sensitive and potentially triggering for vulnerable communities. As such, I take great care to approach these subjects with sensitivity and tact, and I work closely with organisations and individuals who can provide support to those who may be affected by my art.​​
