Statement
Through digitally manipulated photography, photomontage, and video, she explores themes such as the body, women, ritual scenes, and the relationship with natural and built environments. These projects incorporate staging, performance, and the intersection of different languages, approached through digital techniques. They reinterpret ritual scenes in an intimate and personal way, drawing on mythical figures, pagan cults, and art-historical narratives related to representations of women. They also emerge from stories rooted in the Argentine territory, such as legends about the origins of native flowers. The worship of nature, the experience of the landscape, everyday objects, and the use of her own body are key to the construction of this syncretic and staged imaginary, which evokes a sense of sacredness.
