I explore the relationship between body, material, and space through sculpture and installation. Using construction materials, I address themes of weight, displacement, and support. Influenced by feminist theory, my work transforms everyday objects to reveal how bodies—especially those marked as other—navigate power, vulnerability, and spatial control.

WORKS 






1. How much weight can I take? (2024)
Sculpture
Sandbags, scaffolding, ropes and fillers
207 cm x 110 cm

Sculpture made of polypropylene sacks, sand, and scaffolding explores weight, support, and sustenance. Defying gravity, the elements intertwine and hang, challenging perceptions of weight and how metal structures simultaneously support and constrain bodies in space.




2. Little dances going on (2024)
 Collage on paper
    21 cm x 14,8 cm


    To break the rigidity of photography, I explore cutting, stretching its edges and creating a new space. By deforming the image, folds and wrinkles emerge, altering its structure.
    Small dances arise from the movements, transforming the photograph into something new.




    3. Remember to consider the folds and curves on your path and on your body (2024)
    Installation
    Tarpaulin, wooden poles, rope and bricks
    Variable size

    A large tarpaulin installation transformed the exhibition space, requiring visitors to navigate its folds and curves. Supported by precarious wooden poles, it evoked both security and instability. Manipulating the material disrupted its protective function, emphasizing bodily interaction and spatial transformation.




    4. The void where transformation takes place (2024)
    Collage
    Duct tape and label on plastic sheet
    29,7 cm x 21 cm

    Using duct tape, I explore cuts to create deformations and movement, transforming its structure. Collages materialize this idea, establishing new conditions through cutting. Incorporating words into the cuts, I connect language, space, and form, highlighting transformation within newly opened voids.




    5. Vibrant body* (2025)
    Installation
    Embroidery on repurposed sandbags and rope.
    166 cm x 245 cm


    Embroidered words like "weight," "delimitation," and "control" on repurposed polypropylene fabric explore themes of surveillance, conformity, and control in urban environments. By relocating these materials to the gallery, their function shifts, encouraging new interpretations and connections through bodily interaction and shared experiences.

    *title inspired about the research about vibrant bodies by Suely Rolnik



    6. It doesn't hurt me anymore (2025)
    Sculpture
    Steel frame, silicone and wire rope
    70 cm x 70 cm x 245 cm

    The work features a steel square (60 x 60 cm), resembling a gate or barrier, dividing space into
    private and public. By altering its material, the sculpture transforms hostility into intimacy,
    inviting bodily engagement, where the once-threatening finials now encourage touch and
    interaction.




    7. It doesn't hurt (2025)
     Assemblage
    Acrylic, labels, brackets and silicone finial
    Variable size
