Materialized mostly in drawings and installations, her work «incorporates and subverts elementary and universal concepts of space (more concretely related to Physics and Geometry – gravity, perspective, orientation, time) creating situations that synthesize its symbiosis with “the social”. Taking as principle that space and its inhabitants are as dynamic as stable and as physical as social; her Installations are personified spaces, where the spectators/passing by people get “spacialized” and their interactions are enabled with basis on a belief in the possibility of changing “facts” and dogmas.» (quoted from the artist)
