She is a current candidate of the Disarming Design master’s program at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

Inhale, in hell there's heaven
Why do the most profound human moments always shine in darkness? “Inhale, in there’s heaven” is a social sculpture that honors consistent collective desires for freedom by invoking the power of celebration. Through the lens of Palestine, this work studies the vibrational waves that are provoked by sticky events. In other words, an intense atmospheric shift in which the object of a political event is so binding that it provokes a unanimous adherence or assemblance amongst the masses. The installation itself is assembled and lifted only through community participation. A silk structure rises and falls with the temporary support of helium balloons. This ebb and flow of assemblage references the emotional waves of uprisings and assemblies that are contingent to political events. How do the consistent emotional infrastructures of feeling and believing support celebratory powers that persist before and after the demonstration, the party, or the funeral take place? “Inhale, in hell there’s heaven” is a lyric from Frank Ocean’s song “Solo” which appears on his 2016 album “Blond”. The performance is accompanied by a 4 channel sound collage of songs and sounds that carry secret messages and vibrations to participants. The elements of taking physical space and projecting sound channels the unapologetic aspect of celebration that refuses to be invisible. By occupying space with honor we (people in diaspora) resist the position of the guest and reverse to the role of host. By building, listening, singing, and dancing we celebrate and we resist oppression.
