She continued to explore various media such as painting, videography and editing, photography, interior and floral design. After graduating she began her practice as an artist without academic references, followed by her first solo exhibition a year after.
Ani’s sensitivity towards combining these diverse techniques and tools, along with her first-hand knowledge of biological processes and systems allows her to navigate the fine balance between what is repulsive and visceral yet cozy, visual innovations that appear to be artifacts from some unknown animated
world, growing, consuming and wriggling around.
