Since 2018 she has used her artist’s name as a gesture following the sudden death of her father. It comes from a family nickname and, for the artist herself, it also expresses a certain freedom of expression, above all in her free work. The name plays on the Czech keyboard, where “3” shares a key with the letter “š”, and also refers to the French name for hide-and-seek, cache cache.

In her projects she explores inner and outer bonds and the effect of today’s digital dimensions on the psyche, and gives them physical form; it is characteristic of her not only to address the viewer but also to activate them gently. In her performances she works with her own physicality, which matters to her both as material and as content. The costumes of her performances often serve to bring out the possibilities and the limits of that physicality. One example is the eight-hour performance in the box office of the Komedie Theatre, which in 2021 won her the Discovery of the Year award at the Next Wave festival of alternative art.
