Her work focuses primarily on visual theater performances and contemporary animation. Her authorial research seeks multisensory power, and her main sources of inspiration come from two distinct fields. One is the teeming universe of literary references: the symbolism of objects, the complexity of characters and plots. The other is the texture of the contemporary world we live in, imbued with affection and concern for nature. Her performances include objects that the artist creates individually for each piece and theme, recontextualizing her aesthetic as a radical, artisanal form of worldbuilding.
Focused on the body and objects as extensions of herself, her approach invites participants to explore their expressive potential through a series of gestures and narratives, creating dialogues between her characters and the audience.
In recent years, she has presented her work in over 25 countries worldwide. In 2025, she was invited to direct and collaborate with artists from Brazil and Japan, completing a second artistic residency in that country.
