Under the guise of ‘double agent’ - defined in as having a day job (at a luxury car dealership) - that feeds into her art practice, this exegesis investigates how shared spaces are becoming sites for communal isolation. In addition, it considers the wider implications of having a social practice to champion artistic spirit into the work environment, in an attempt to redefine the conventional hierarchies of corporate language, and the power attributed to it.
