In her practice, she is working in different medias ranging from painting (usually oil on canvas) to spatial installations made of neon lights, sand, sound, and other elements. She is mostly dealing with the notions of anxiety, fatalism and temporality, frequently devising them through depictions of vast artificial neon-desert landscapes, atomic bomb testing or tropical scenery airplane crashes.
