One of her standout works, My Little Rave Machine, exemplifies her innovative approach. In this piece, Salawaki seamlessly blends digital and real elements, using a perpetually spinning fish to provoke thought on the coexistence of living beings in both digital and physical spaces. The work is a lighthearted yet incisive commentary on modern existence, offering viewers a unique lens through which to reflect on their own realities.
