Current reseach:
Spatial asymmetries, extraction and regeneration

I research how bodies, matter, and environments co-exist within unstable territorial conditions. Through embodied field and material research, I construct speculative spatial situations examining relations between regeneration, overload, and uneven access to resources.

— Spatial asymmetries shaped through neo-colonial dependencies and Eastern European post-socialist conditions, examining how tourism, labour, and infrastructures of care produce uneven relations between bodies, landscapes, visibility, and access within sites of regeneration and natural extraction.

— Landscape extraction, conditions and asymmetries of ground: how mass tourism produces uneven access, visibility, and more-than-human relations within neo-colonial structures.

— Infrastructures of care (including Polish sanatoria), places where extraction and regeneration intersect, where preservation can be understood as a form of resistance to standardized capitalist approaches to natural resources.
