2021
In her artistic production there is a recurrent use of installations, videos, and photography which function as devices to initiate not only strong emotional suggestions, but also to provide a new moral focus in the viewer.
In the background, pressing questions loom on present condition and identity, on their relationships with the past and a push to reconsider it in a new light.
