1. Still Life #02 (Still Life #02)
Still Life #02 is part of a broader investigation on our relationship with images and their immateriality. It emerges from the desire to touch the intangible: the digital image. It manages to embody the pixel and carve it with a chisel; to explore its physical nature through direct intervention.

Humans, Animals, Earth, Wind and Water, converge with the same energy of a filmic fire, which crosses and relates them.

8. Now Eat My Script
"Now Eat My Script is a precipice, a fluid solution in which some spectral noises of the self float adrift.

Her body is crossed over by both the years to come and the stories that have been buried. As a would-be pirate, she navigates through the tumult of familiar waters."
