The body of work, for the most part, developed through photography is based on the contrasts between the real and the imaginary, transporting them into an autobiographical universe. Intimacy with the photographed object and its surroundings, as well as an updated identity are a constant and essential part of the projects it carries out, using photography as a form of therapy. Her artistic expression is mostly based on self-portraits, but not only. She develops photographic works with the people who are close to her, in an attempt to recover ties, to eternalize the photographed ones, or through the appropriation of archive photographs, creating fictional narratives from internal desires.
