Since my earliest works, the core of my practice has revolved around social constructs related to gender, stereotypes, and the body. I began working with direct photography and a purely photographic language, focusing on the representation of the body, the canons of hegemonic beauty, and eating disorders—such as bulimia and anorexia—as reflections of the social and cultural mandates that particularly affect women. From the start, my search encompassed both those who integrate into the system and those displaced from it: the body was both image and protest, document and mirror.
Over time, my artistic practice began to shift. In 2019, I started involving people in collaborative works as part of the creative process—first through a curatorial project, and then, from 2020 onwards, in my personal work through open calls on social media, particularly Instagram.
In parallel, I began working with other media and languages: archival photographs, texts, design, illustration, and drawing, exploring new forms of visual intervention on the photographic image. This was the turning point where my work ceased to be purely photographic and embraced a mixed-media logic—mix media photography—which I continue to develop to this day.
My first work along this new path was Dress Code, indoors (Behind Closed Doors), in which people sent me their own photos during the pandemic. From that experience emerged not only an exhibition but also books and editorial processes that allowed me to channel my research on that context and its connection to clothing.
Along the way, clothing as a cultural code became a central axis. I am not interested in fashion from an aesthetic or superficial perspective, but as a device of control, belonging, and power. The dress, present in many of my series, operates as a symbol of these mandates but also as a space for resignification.
My practice is not limited to a single technique; it is articulated through multiple languages and research processes that draw on sociology, philosophy, and even anthropology. My work is sustained by this theoretical foundation that underlies each of my projects. In recent years, I have also begun addressing other subjects such as depression, relationships, and childhood abuse—always through symbolic narratives that invite reflection on what often remains hidden or normalized.
I am drawn to themes that cut through our everyday lives but, due to repetition or discomfort, are often rendered invisible: gender mandates, stereotypes, relationships, violence, memory, rituals, social media, clothing as an extension of the body and of imposed norms.
I do not seek answers, but rather images that invite thought. I work so they may speak, so they may challenge, so they may move. So that other voices and other stories may be heard, and perhaps reveal a key to other, better, and possible worlds.
