In 2025 creëerde ze THE TIME IT TAKES {nomadic}, een reeks korte performances op verschillende plekken. Het werk maakt deel uit van haar artistiek onderzoek waarin ze zich afvraagt hoe het menselijk lichaam kan fungeren als een motor van verzet. Vertrekkend vanuit deze transformerende kracht bevraagt ze de politieke, culturele en sociale aspecten van tijd en ritme die onze moderne wereld vormgeven. Haar artistiek onderzoek valt onder Action Zoo Humain's nieuwe makerstraject Inter:Action.
