Her videos are inspired by stories where women have an unusual characteristic about their bodies that makes them a commodity, and specifically the women who advertise their unusual characteristic online to be utilized for hire.
Some of the concepts her art deals with involve labor, body/environment relationships, and fictional logic. 2001 Project 2001 Award, Islip University, Islip Art Museum, New York, United States of America.
