My work examines the quiet tension between women's bodies and the structures of everyday life. Growing up in Central Asia, I became attuned to the pressures and frameworks that shape women's existence — the push and pull between softness and rigidity, between the body and its surroundings.
With a background in architecture, I work across multiple disciplines, always with a strong emphasis on community engagement and socially driven work. I am also part of POoR Collective, a socially-driven design practice that focuses on the development of communities through the elevation of young people.
