Her recent text-based work includes: “My Story of Time and Care” which she co-authored during a partnership with NAFA and a local Hospice for an exhibition titled Stories of Care (2021), “The Book of intrusive thoughts”, an artist book that consisted of her photography and collected intrusive thoughts (2022); and “The Apartments”, a collaborative publication which discussed topics of parental based trauma and healing (2022).
