Generally, when I create my work, I think on how could I illustrate the hidden tensions and agreements under society masks. My main way of expression is my own body, the place where I live every territory I move on. My body is a "here" and a "now" of the time/space where I am standing.

Political thoughts around concepts as "woman", "territory", "spectacle", "pornography" and "violence" are pretty recurrent issues on my work.
