Statement
In her current work she investigates the relationships between artistic traditions and new technologies through the mixture of 3D with classical techniques and crafts; the intersection of the natural and the artificial, the organic and the synthetic, the everyday and the strange, as well as the cyclical nature of time.
The beings they create exist somewhere between the real and the imaginary, representing identities and sexualities that are fluid, cyborg and hybrid in an ecosystem of ecophilia where one can redefine what it means to be humanx in the anthropocene, in line with posthumanism.Generating new myths and fantastic chronicles that serve as monuments to an alternative or alien civilization, in the midst of the uncertainty caused by technology, the ecological and economic crisis and the paradigm shift.It serves as a commentary on our relationship with nature and the environment.
It is an invitation to explore the possibilities of a world that exists beyond our current reality.Or how we might form new relationships and realities altogether.
