Statement
Linet's work mainly moves between photography and sculpture. This connects with memory and architectural spaces, which he perceives as a kind of container. It shows them white, empty, alluding to oblivion and at the same time to a kind of birth; since for her, over time our memories are separating from the reality that made them born to become something else. Her works arise from self-absorption and introspection, not from the observation of what surrounds us.
