Chiara’s work pulls two dimensions into three, opening the space between line and object, surface and volume, physics and poetics. Motion and gravity are the lenses that help her peer into the specter of time and reveal forces that shape perception but escape visibility. 

Serious play guides her practice: inquiry through movement, the body, co-incidence and chaos. Working with suspension, tension, and everyday materials, she bridges earth and sky, spanning the interval between object and agent, natural and constructed. Through a process of invention, collection, and assemblage, she coaxes sculptures to life, listening closely to how they want to move, and what histories they hold. The resulting installations enact a world of altered physics, where movement becomes another technology for sensing the invisible.

Growing up between Bali and New York, geographically and linguistically in-between, she has been formed by worlds that differ environmental, metaphysically, socially, and ontologically. Her sculptures attempt to reconcile these seemingly contradictory modes of knowing, proposing that the material and immaterial are not separate realms but intertwined conditions of experience and perception.
