Her current work explores mediated landscapes through imaging technologies (sensors, satellites) and landscapes as sentient media. She investigates the Namib Desert as a site of colonial violence and contemporary extraction, linking time, space, and non-life via Octavia Butler's concept of alien time and Elizabeth Povinelli's theoretical contributions.
Recent publications analyze queer visual cultures, Black imagination, and care ethics in digital art practices. Collaborations with Ayesha Hameed, kara lynch, and Simon O’Sullivan underscore her interdisciplinary focus.
