Her ‘performative sculpture’ is the artist’s answer to the space she works in, her reaction to spatial stimuli. A sculpture may contrast space itself by dividing it and mixing different types of architecture using elemental materials, often recycled, commonly associated to construction or agriculture. Installations, sculptures, and minimalist photographs never hide their flaws – instead, they highlight them as the distinctive traits that make every piece original and unique.
