Her artistic research, through a photodynamic approach inspired by Futurism, identifies in the temporal gap between the expression and the recording of movement a space of enchantment, where mysterious transformations of reality coagulate into an aesthetic of presence/absence.
She is drawn to ancient and primordial spiritual expressions, whose vitalism inspires a use of the photographic medium akin to nineteenth-century spiritism.
She seeks to attune herself to places of high spiritual density, reworking the energies of the territories she inhabits and explores, constructing deeply personal pictorial worlds. She works with materials of different natures, employing reflections, refractions, and evanescent brushstrokes to express and investigate her identity through art.
