I am an artist and scholar, and am currently employed as a Lecturer at the Institute of Creativity and Innovation (University for the Creative Arts, UK and Xiamen University, China). I completed a PhD in Visual and Performing Arts at the University of Texas, Dallas, as well as a MA in Communication Design from the Glasgow School of Art and a MA and BA in Philosophy from La Sapienza University of Rome. 

I have exhibited my work in several group and solo shows in the USA, UK, Italy, China, and Japan; held teaching appointments at American, European, and Asian universities; presented my artistic projects at international academic conferences; and published articles about my work in peer-reviewed journals.

My research explores the intersection of ecofeminism, posthumanism, and the visual arts, focusing on the relationship between female subjectivity and material existence. Through an interdisciplinary approach, I employ arts-based research methods to create visual narratives that challenge traditional perspectives and highlight the connection between the exploitation of nature and the marginalization of various groups. This work integrates theoretical frameworks with artistic practice, offering insights into visual culture, gender representation, and ecological ethics.
