Within her latest investigations the artist explores crystalline growth and its unique properties in multiform cultivations, a combination of scientific experiment and artistic exploration, which has at its core the observation of crystal growth.
The crystal originates and grows in an interplay of light and energetic reflexes, which exalt the process of materializing and connects the crystal with the idea of consciousness, in which the spirit of the observer has the possibility to influence its geomorphological growth.

The crystals grow within a field permeated by the observer and adapt to each other, creating complex geometric phenomena and supported by an evolving space - time dynamic.
