My research interest looks at subjectivity and non-human entities. Here, I hope to elucidate this process in 3 parts. Beginning with my encounters with non-human entities through psychic and somatic associations of the self (that make 'you' and 'I' interchangeable), then the affect it has on me and the non-human through our relational dynamic and then circling back to the process of self-becoming. 

​

I seek to deconstruct the sense of a singular corporeal and psychic wholeness (which comes from the notion of the singular Ego based on an illusion and misrecognition) and rather construct 'a hanging in together of self' through questioning ways in which 'I' can be one yet many. By bringing together the experiences of the 'lived body' into the 'body multiple', that which is affected by and affects other bodies and that which is a body-in-process without the notion of a single core being (as it is influenced by cultural norms), respectively. Both the human and non-human are scripted with cultural symbolism and connotations, so how may the body multiple approach look at rewriting few of these scripts to further accumulate a sense of myself, is my interest.

​

The self or 'I' is in the matrix of internalisation of cultural inscriptions (of power struggle, contradictions and notions), especially of a female body.And so arrives the question of how can a singular notion of womanhood and the self be made multiple? Through engaging with the multiplicity of objects around me, I seek a non-dichotomous (subject/object) relationship with them and instead through them search and find insights into my subjectivity, as a woman and human.
