Her works depict a mixture of all human feelings about love, fears, fragility, faith, hope... An endless list of sensations to be tasted in a blink. They represent the interior of humanity in its own way. It gets materialized through the human body's shape and folklore allegories immersed in elements of dance and poetry.
Her art intends to reveal the beauty and core of human interior placed on a timeline of our society and its peculiarities. Viewers experience a revival of what we as humans tend to acknowledge, restrain, ignore, or love.
