The artist's method is to illustrate her own texts in various mediums, from graphics to objects and videos, both poetic and prosaic. The main theme is the interaction of time and history, issues of difficult historical heritage, and alternative history. The author strives to create an endless meta-text, a book that aims for global scope and, at the same time, the closeness and intimacy of writing in an envelope. Landmarks in Russian contemporary art: Arseniy Zhilyaev, Ivan Novikov. Among her favorite authors are Kazimir Malevich, Dmitry Lyon, Timur Novikov, Anselm Kiefer, and post-war abstract art in Russia. The artist is also interested in the philosophy of cosmism and the ideas of Nikolai Fedorov's Universal Museum.
