Project Description
"Art is for me a discursive tool for the production of spatial constructions. I have mainly worked sculptural and in the form of installation to follow my process of investigation. (…) My decision on virtuality and the production of experience as a medium must be viewed politically. As a woman and artist, I want to explore the cultural potential of intellectual and digital landscapes as a subject of artistic research. […]  Concerns about ecology, the Anthropocene, and feminism are recurrent themes I revisit in my whole praxis.”
