dria (b. 1995) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher working with sound, performance and visual landscapes. her practice is situated at the intersection of ecological inquiry, somatic research, and technological exploration as tools for investigating perception and relational being.

through an improvisational and process-based approach, dria examines how site-specific and gesture shape our experience of beloning and meaning. their works often emerge from sustained research periods or site-responsive experiments, where sound synthesis, voice, and field recordings intertwine with performative and sculptural processes. this inquiry extends into writing and reflective documentation, treating artistic practice itself as a form of somatic study.

trained in both visual and movement-based disciplines, dria’s background bridges ceramics, eco-arts, and somatic facilitation. they have spent the past decade teaching and producing interdisciplinary projects in vancouver, canada, while developing an ongoing research practice in europe. recent work includes a performance residency in budapest exploring resonance, time, and embodied perception through modular synthesis and movement-based improvisation.

currently, dria’s research focuses on the relationship between sound and corporeality—how bodies, technologies, and materials co-resonate—and on the possibilities of art as a mode of listening, integration, and transformation.
