xine's work is focused on cycles of life and death, the ancient world, as well as hypothetical ecologies.
Her works seek to encourage humans to collaborate with the non-human.
This is done via a “summoning” of an otherworldly being, whose purpose is to alleviate or acknowledge hardships that occur as a result of existence on earth.
A form of guardianship emerges, and a self-reflection is unveiled.
