> Work is reductive, spaces are formed out of predefined geometry and shapes
> Form is blurred as walls, floor wall and roof merge into entities, undefined or morphed form
> Building form follows an emotional response to space & design features, her original designs are an abstract representation of how a space is experienced
> Form is fluid & organic
