Masternak´s work oscillates mostly between sculpture, film, sound and drawing and it is presented in site-specific arrangements,
that intend to evoke a mood rather than telling a story. Her installations are built from mixed media
and are based on research into shapes, the fluid transition of material and color from one form to another,
and how this impacts the viewer´s perception. Her compositions strike an odd balance between spontaneous
expressions and precise calculations, often relating to elements of forms and lines, it creates a visual rhythm and fluid continuity,
which exposes the phantom of time, the fragility of movement and the present day human condition.
Other important subject in her works is the processing of memory and how this has shifted through engagement
with digital media. Before Convid Pandemie was invated the Art Residency Flux Factory in New York City,
