As an artist, she seeks to communicate and connect with people through artistic experimentation with new technological materials. Her work explores new ways of perceiving and expanding reality, as well as situations beyond human control. She aims to rethink the role of art in contemporary technological society by transforming everyday objects and the spaces we inhabit, adding aesthetic and creative dimensions to everyday life. Her practice focuses on collective experiences, extending art beyond the private sphere and strengthening communication with audiences, with a particular interest in the transformative potential of public art.
