Hi, my name is Esther. As an artist, I create stories where technology, philosophy, and nature intersect. The freedom to experiment within the collaboration of art and technology inspires me. I believe it’s essential to constantly seek accessible ways to communicate my stories through art.
A vital part of my practice is engaging in conversations about my work and reflecting on different perspectives. Ecology and science are significant sources of inspiration for me. My work often explores the complex relationship between humans and nature, embodiment, and systems of control, drawing from both personal experiences and broader societal observations.
Combining craftsmanship with digital technologies, I work with biomaterials, sculpture, and kinematics to create dynamic, meaningful installations.
