Statement

Her artistic researchs ways towards her wish to model the immaterial. To turn her thoughts into objects. Numerous questions surround this part of the process : what is it made of ? What are the immaterial connections that belong to identity? How to become aware of that impalpable universe, so present in our daily lives? 
 
The discovery of where we’re going while being aware of where we’re coming from is a strong creative tool.
