one of her quotes is as follows-

"My art practice investigates diverse, interdependent, and symbiotic relationships within natural and manmade environments. Fascinated by alternative realities, disorientation, and flight, I amalgamate disparate experiences to create new narratives, perspectives, and theories. The goal is to identify how patterns and symbols of influence impact perception, social behavior, institutions, history, and truth"
