Recurring themes of her body of work are memories (personal and collective), time, and loss. Indelible marks part of everybody's life.
In her practice, she combines portraits, landscapes, still-life photography, and moving image using analogue mediums. Films give her the chance to mark and emphasize the connection between the handcraft and time passing.
The darkroom practice is a significant part of her body of work. She learned to accept the mistakes as part of the work itself, considering the image as a unique piece, sometimes unrepeatable and even more valuable for this reason.
From printmaking to photography and video. Through her practice, she intends to give a new life to processes, moments, people or feeling that are part of our past and remain present through images.
Selected for the SW Darkroom Residency Award and TheLabyrinth Lab / RCA Award 2019. Currently part of London Creative Network. Her work has been shown in Italy, England, America, and Czech Republic.
