Inspired by the relationship that men have with the spaces and shapes that form our contemporary landscape, she recreates her own personal and metaphorical space. The images she creates lead us into a world where the shapes make the characters move, where mythologies are reversed. Her work is inspired by sculpture and performance. Dehumanized as well as melancholic, her images create a kind of archeology of the future.
