Investigation

She works with fragile materials such as water, air, salt, tar, light or glass to reflect on the fragility of the balance of ecosystems. She talks about the importance of care in contrast to the widespread development of extractive and exploitative activities. Her work invites us to rethink our relationships with the environment and to build new forms of integrated and collaborative existence. Through her practice, she questions our ways of doing things and our response to the ecological crisis, returning the viewer to a position in which awareness and responsibility become inexcusable.
