I work from matter and from the human experience held within it. As a sculptor and costume designer, I explore how materials carry memory and connect us to the land and to life.
I use natural and reused materials, often fragile or transformable, because they speak of cycles and life processes. From an ecofeminist perspective, I understand matter, territory and the body as interdependent realities.
I am interested in crafts, rituals and ancestral clothing, and in all the knowledge that is passed down through the hands.

She has also worked as a seamstress on international campaigns with renowned artists and brands, such as Johnny Depp for Dior and Lily Collins for Lancôme.
