(pronoun: they/them)

My work set out to DIY bodies and make home in digital or other unexpected places. I make kinetic sculptures, videos, video games, and websites. The core of my practice revolves around exploring the intersection of gender queerness and diasporic queerness, with a focus on themes of mobility and the search for a sense of belonging.

In my research, I delve into the material foundations of technology, while celebrating the transformative nature of queering as a technological force. For instance, I have created retro-2D maps that challenge conventional ideas of artificial intelligence, exhibited at the EU Digital Future conference. I have also utilised glitch techniques to compile information on non-binary computing in an open-edit Google doc for the Toolkits for Counterparts project.

My works have been showcased in various exhibitions and festivals. Notably, the upcoming Frieze London 2023 commission will showcase the kinetic sculpture 'Tinking of getting my top surgery' (misspelling intentional), which explores the DIY of other bodies for me as trans activism. My video installation 'a play' was exhibited at Tomorrow Maybe Gallery as part of the Per.Platform #3 Fluidity & Impermanence Festival, exploring the experiences of trans individuals and the vulnerability of our bodies. Additionally, my film '绝对有错误翻译的情书/ بالکل غلط ترجمہ کے ساتھ محبت خط/ a love letter that must have been mistranslated in parts' examines the complexities of lost love in translation and was presented at the everywoman biennial in New York.

我的作品旨在DIY身体，在数字或其他意想不到的地方创造家。我制作动力雕塑、视频、电子游戏和网站。我的实践核心围绕着探索性别多元性和散居多元性的交汇点，关注流动性和寻找归属感的主题。

我的研究中探讨技术的物质基础，同时赞扬了酷儿化以牵挂/在意为先的科技性。例如，我受欧盟数字未来大会2021委托创建了挑战人工智能定义的复古2D地图；以及受Toolkits for Counterparts委托制作了以开放编辑的文档为媒介的讨论非二进制计算与酷儿化科技的空间。

我的作品在各种展览和艺术节中展出。比如，即将到来的2023年伦敦Frieze博览会将展出动力雕塑'Tinking of getting my top surgery' (misspelling intentional) 2023，这件作品探索了作为跨性别角度的主动DIY其他身体。我的视频装置作品 'a play' 2022 在Tomorrow Maybe画廊展出，作为Per.Platform #3流动性与无常艺术节的一部分，探索跨性别个体的经历和我们身体的透析性。此外，我的影片 '绝对有错误翻译的情书/ بالکل غلط ترجمہ کے ساتھ محبت خط/ a love letter that must have been mistranslated in parts' 2021 在纽约的everywoman双年展上展示，探讨了翻译中失落的情书的复杂性。
