dria (b. 1995) is an interdisciplinary artist, performer, and producer whose work moves through sound, embodied performance, visual media, and material practice. her process often begins with a felt sensation or unresolved question that unfolds through writing, research, improvisation, and listening.
working with voice, electronic composition, movement, poetry, and hybrid analogue–digital approaches, she creates participatory and site-responsive environments that invite audiences to witness themselves & their inner world. her background spans contemporary performance, visual art, lomography, and creative technology, alongside six years apprenticing within a japanese ceramic lineage. these multiple trainings inform a practice that is fluid across form and scale, where experimentation and curiousity are a central spoke.
her current work is rooted in the spaces of between: liminality, ephemerality, memory, and the quiet grief of becoming. she explores place-based belonging and the pendulating tensions between autonomy and attachment, migration and return, the individual and the collective. she is particularly drawn to the meeting points of technology, nature, and the body, where intimacy and distance fold into one another.
for dria, art-making is a practice of witnessing, relational inquiry, and ongoing return. she approaches her work not as a search for resolution, but as a way of dwelling within uncertainty, allowing meaning to surface through process, participation, and shared attention.
