The line between what is controlled, not rationalized, not verbalized or embodied, and what is structured, organized, verbalized, and is disembodied. ¿Thinking art? ¿Living philosophy? Her work is between the interstitium that art practices and philosophy rationalize to approach the Other. The Other with capital letters.

For now, her research is focused on inquiring about actions such as being there, listening, and writing as ways of living life. To trust as a practice of inquiring, but also, of conceiving reality. This has been decanted through the experience of traveling, wandering, and walking through different types of natural environments along with the environments reproduced or created by humans.

Consequently, questions about nature, the meaning of the landscape, the word, silence, emptiness, vulnerability, the fragile, the indelible, otherness, precariousness, the limit, loneliness, and the body in all its levels; personal and social are present in her work. Her work is a materialized reflexive exercise.
