Her final year project won a grant from the America-Israel cultural foundation.

Her work focuses on post-trauma as the foundation of her artistic practice: her goal is to translate her personal traumas into universal expressions encouraging the viewer to raise crucial questions about themselves from the perspective of a non-judgmental, hypersensitive, heart-beating animal. By highlighting how moments of intimacy and vulnerability intersect with memories of violence and manipulation, she explores how imbedded trauma affects us as individuals and as a society. She uses a wide variety of techniques for whatever the project may require. (drawing, sound, animation, writing, performance, installation and more).
