The objects are intended as items of function, although it is understood that the use is ambiguous and that they may be viewed from a conceptual, sculptural or even decorative point of view. By creating objects whose use is improbable, she asks the viewer to imagine a heterotopia in which magic is embraced. 

By employing digital tools as an aid to design the objects are also able to occupy the metaverse, where the digital influence allows impossibilities. The digital influence allows a precision to underlie the distortions of material process, in much the same way as environmental factors distort the blueprint of the natural world. With this in mind, the processes are multi-layered and attempt to achieve a similar paradoxical exquisiteness of form as that found in nature.
