Oscillating between the factual and the fictional, her work mainly explores the connections among beliefs and the image. Her artistic practice is based on the combined use of  staged photography with archival footage, written documents, books, found objects, installation and videos and points to question the role of western gaze in the production of evidences and proofs of idealistic scenarios of civilization.
