Lifecycle Commons is an ongoing, site-specific projection mapping installation that explores parallels among dried plants, living plants, and digitally scanned botanical forms. The project begins with dried plant specimens collected from diverse geographic environments, which are translated into three-dimensional digital forms and animated to evoke varying states of vitality. These forms are projected onto an asymmetrically structured surface, creating a dynamic spatial composition thatresponds to the architecture of the site.

The Still Life series draws on the visual language of classical still life painting whilereinterpreting it through dried plants and subtle material processes. The seriesexamines arrangements of artifacts suspended between preservation andtransformation. Referencing still life traditions associated with time, mortality, andattention, the work explores how value and meaning are shaped through care,material tension, and quiet instability, inviting viewers to consider stillness as anactive condition shaped by labor, observation, and duration.

The Mnemonic Archive is a narrative space where participants provide geological clues through one-on-one interviews and interactions. It is a qualitative research method designed to create a unique social artifact: a map that reveals the intersecting locations of significant events in their lives. Unlike a linear memory archive, each case aims to unearth history that has remained buried for decades or years, emerging, unraveling, and revealing itself with geological evidence.

Highlights of Nina’s Career (2020- ongoing) is an ongoing moving image archive that features encounters with altered organisms. These encounters take place in natural and human-made landscapes, which have been transformed by the cycles of nature but still somehow resemble corporate processes.
It aims to gather primary sources in the field, transport and preserve them as an archive, and disseminate them into the public sphere. Primary archival sources include 3D scans, recorded sound, moving images, documents, records, and artifacts.

The sculpture employs a magnetic field to create resisting physical forces that define the unseen space around objects. Projected in real time, the enlarged scale acquires a habitual behavior. The resulting tension between objects and forces, existing in this hybrid state of objects, allows one to confront emotional forces. One that vibrates with instability and stimulates an acceptance of irrationality.

At the Office chronicles a fictitious journey within a corporate digital agency environment where the artist’s occupation as art director is conducted. Utilizing video/photography as an entry point and a source of inspiration, she explores the hidden fulcrums of the office environment by locating areas of psychological adaptation (or resistance).

While site-specific, luxury landscapes have been successfully employed in the award-winning park, Governors Island, unnoticed wild plants thrive in the quiet spaces between its bricks and concrete—quietly asserting their persistent presence. These overlooked ecosystems, fragile yet tenacious, reflect both the natural world's resilience and the complexity of human intervention in shaping landscapes.

Mother Nature can function as either a mat or a toy for children, offering a nurturing and playful experience. The system consists of three modular units that can be combined to create countless arrangements and sizes, depending on how children or users choose to assemble them.
Each foam piece functions as a complete unit on its own, making the product both flexible and unique. The three basic forms connect in multiple ways, allowing the final configuration to become a rectangle, triangle, circle, or even a three-dimensional object.
This modular quality encourages interaction and creativity. The product is composed of 36 small pieces that connect together and can also wrap the product as part of its packaging.

Etched onto this panel is a catalog of botanical names, identifying the resilient flora flourishing in the liminal spaces between cement seams, brick facades, and concrete corridors of Governors Island. Each plant is named in the binomial language of taxonomy—genus and species epithet—rooting scientific precision in the poetry of survival. Threaded through the island’s historic masonry and modern infrastructure, these tenacious specimens quietly reclaim forgotten ground, embodying resilience, adaptability, and the untamed plasticity of urban nature.

Highlights of Nina’s Career II is a four-channel moving image archive that documents encounters with altered organisms situated within hybrid terrains—both natural and anthropogenic—that have been reshaped by ecological processes yet still echo the formal language of corporate systems. The installation incorporates four vintage LED television screens, each embedded within a sculptural environment composed of living and non-living matter: soil, water, rock, and moss. These material elements do not merely frame the screens but actively participate in the narrative structure, suggesting a porous boundary between the archival and the organic, the technological and the elemental.

Unstable Bond III is a set of 6 boxes with micro-sculptures that explores the relationship between magnets and a collection of tiny pieces of obsolete fixtures from the officescape, such as staples, outdated digital pins, etc. In each of these cubes, there is a hole with a magnifying lens through which a micro-sculpture can be observed. At their nucleus, a magnetic field is employed to create resisting physical forces that define the unseen space between the objects.

Corporate Poems 1440 Broadway and Corporate Poems 375 Hudson Street are recordings of an animated character delivering short monologues that reflect the binary concepts central to office life: creativity vs. anti-creativity, efficiency vs. inefficiency, hierarchy vs. democracy, and standardized activities vs. refined processes in a corporate space.

Unstable bonds are capable of possessing unique psychological functions between actual objects. Unstable bond I explores the discrepancies between the psychological and physical realms, and the legitimacy of the digital image as a representation of reality, inviting the viewer within this tension.
