Biography

I am a neurodivergent visual artist and PhD research student at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, currently based in Asia while embracing a nomadic lifestyle. My research critically interrogates the intersection of Crip Time, heterotemporality, and technology, with a particular focus on the valuation and density of lived temporalities as privatized domains. Through lens-based media, my practice-driven work foregrounds social temporal justice by uncovering and challenging dominant temporal regimes and exploring access intimacy within digital and embodied contexts. Grounded in Relational Aesthetics, Embodiment theory, and Crip theory, my research centers digital intimacy and flexible time as both conceptual frameworks and methodological pillars. Utilizing innovative methods such as diary approaches and Photovoice, I generate counter-narratives that disrupt hegemonic temporal logics, revealing nuanced, alternative, and marginalized experiences of time often overlooked in mainstream discourse. My work contributes to expanding critical understandings of temporal justice, embodied subjectivity, and the politics of time in contemporary societies.
