Statement
Her work operates within the fields of photo-performance and video-performance, exploring eroticism as a tension between social norms and desire. It reflects on gender normativity and the imaginaries that shape the female body, creating scenes in which the repressed, the instinctive, and the dreamlike can emerge.
She constructs scenarios in which eroticism erupts, challenging the set of rules, expectations, and social mandates that dictate how women and men should be, act, feel, or look within a given culture.
