Work
After school, Sester’s interests shifted from designing physical structures to the study of ideological frameworks, specifically how culture and politics affect our sense of place. Her work focuses on notions of privacy and identity, particularly how we navigate through contemporary society’s systems of surveillance and security. Her work relies on interaction with the audience, creating encounters where it’s not clear if one is experiencing something playful or sinister.[4]
