Lit’s MFA research investigates how bodies inhabit precarious, regulated, and provisional spaces through material-led, site-responsive practices. Her work spans sculpture, textile, and environmental interventions, translating experiences of care, solitude, constraint, and observation into tangible form. Across domestic, bodily, and public contexts, her practice examines how individuals negotiate presence, connection, and adaptation under systems of ownership, mobility, and surveillance.
The work is organised into six thematic chapters, reflecting key areas of investigation:
stillness and witnessing,
disciplined body, and
body → home → system → response
01 - Stillness and Witnessing
is about time, observation, and the quiet labour of care and attention.
02 - Conditional Connection
is about relationality as provisional, contingent, and ethically negotiated.
03 - Practices of Refusal
is about interaction with environment, signals, borders, and ambient systems of regulation.
04 - domestic panopticons
Domestic space as a site of visibility, control, and provisional care; furniture and objects as instruments and metaphors of surveillance, constraint, and fragile inhabitation.
05 - Disciplined body
The body under constraint, negotiating comfort, posture, and presence within controlled or precarious environments.

The body inhabits a fragile home; presence and belonging are always conditional.
