In the darkness of the concrete tangles, between the austere pillars of an underground car park, an ethereal silhouette emerges, seeming to defy gravity itself. A classical dancer, graceful and elegant in her art, but what intrigues are her crutches which become extensions of her being. In a disjointed dance, she transcends physical limits, evoking the fragile beauty of resilience.

My photographic work illustrates my speech, dramatizes public space, distorts aesthetic arrangements, with the aim of making us stop believing in them. Insecurity becomes the rule. the miserably human woman, last survivor, fighter through atavism, firmly planted on her legs or in unstable balance. This is how I invent my way of inhabiting the world, this is how I invite people to be in phase with my universe.
