HER WORK

Let’s imagine a natural ecstasy.

It’s not about the story, it’s about speeding the thought.

Scenic space as an area of aesthetic consistency,

working with terms of linguistic and visual collage, minimalism and precision,

questioning if art is able to reunite human vision with the perception of the world,

the mortality as eternity, the high risk of love,

the grief and the tenderness, the braveness and the present,

finding at the same time the sense of humor.
