She completely immersed herself in art by coming to Dubai two years ago. Her days at Tashkeel Solo Residency were devoted to creating a unique solo show called "Floating into the Ocean."Each piece bespoke of two intertwined themes: sustainability and the ocean.

Her project featured an eco-friendly twist with the use of a peculiar yet sustainable material: manually crafted paper from single-use shopping paper bags, meticulously transformed into 300 sheets through a process of cutting and soaking to revive it into stunning pieces of art. 

Through her art, she seeks to spot light on the perilous state of the environment and the pressing issue of pollution. She urges artists to incorporate sustainable practices into their work and become sustainability ambassadors.
