Statement
She works from the observation of her immediate surroundings, paying attention to elements, space, and moments of disjunction that may occur—understood as singularities that reactivate the space and our way of perceiving it. Through drawing and sculpture, she operates from a constructive impulse, developing a material-based investigation in which the familiar is distanced through an action that alters or translates it.
