In her studio art, raya focuses on concepts of death and deletion to explore contradictions in how we conceive notions of control and privacy. Embracing collage as a method, she constructs sculptural installations of 'home' using found objects, her own furniture, and collaged family archives. In these layered diaristic investigations, she contrasts the ephemerality of bodies, precarious permanence of archives, and interminability of digital data. The result transforms images and letters from her own archives into inviting reflections on home, motherhood, surveillance and grief.
