Tiffany Trenda investigates the intersection of the human body, particularly the female body, and evolving technologies. She is interested in how our bodies are constantly shifting between the physical and simulated, and how this impacts our experience of the world around us.

Her work presents a dialogue between the performative body and the technological landscape. Through her work, she blurs the boundaries between the digital and physical, inviting the public to question phenomenology of the body and simulation. She is interested in how simulated experiences impact our intimacy, memory, and senses.
