Currently, she is exploring the idea of crossing borders by identifying common cultural traits and histories, as well as potential cultural clashes. These insights can be used to propose alternative narratives and networks for knowledge transfer, facilitating relationships between different people, places, animate and inanimate objects, and visible and invisible forces.
Today, driven by her desire to promote critical crafts making, she collaborates with various public and private institutions on design and research projects. She leads workshops to share her expertise in craft technologies with students in art and design schools.
