In her sound performance, the artist uses various objects (a bottle, a glass, etc.) and instruments (flute, guitar, looper, etc.) to create an atmosphere of disorientation, rhythm, chaos, but also peace. Through the perspective of drunkenness, playfulness, and tranquillity, she creates combinations of sounds and experiments with sonic relationships and perception. She builds an atmosphere and dramaturgy based on various emotions, ranging from discomfort and pressure to relaxation, intimacy, imagination, and harmony. The Other Night in My Room is her final thesis, created under the mentorship of Associate Professor Gildo Bavčević at the Arts Academy in Split.
