Her work reflects the creative experimental combinations of materials and forms.
She creates functional objects, 3D models of clothing, accessories, and glass design as well as in physical forms and materials and art installations in which she experimentally combines glass with other materials (fabric, metal, etc.).
At first glance, these combinations may not seem related, but, as a whole, create compositional and semantic tension between everyday materials resulting in clean lines and textures married in juxtaposition. The dialogue between the two disparate shapes, structures, and the mixing of materials can reflect on the viewer a conceptual impression. Yet, through all of it, it forms a fine line abstract landscape between something fragile, soft, but at the same time strong.
An integral part of her perspective on the object is also its functionality and esthetic look of forms, in which objects in combination with other materials imprint an aesthetically playful element.
The resulting works are unique by their unconventional structures and atypical glass shapes. In addition to design, she is keen on making jewelry, concept clothing, and cross-media possibilities of their presentation.
