Statement
Her works refer to the habitat and how through the history of architecture, morphological and political processes, psychological and social imaginaries are generated. Ways of building and deconstructing geopolitically the home and the subject.
Recreating some renowned architects such as Le Corbusier, Niemeyer, Amancio Williams, Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid and Lina Bo Bardi, among many others, she designs and builds utopian projects, reflecting on the new political forms of space and the body.
In the work process, she develops virtual architectural forms of the habitat of a near future where technology redefines the notion of nature.
Through 3D printed objects she represents new forms of spaces where matter is born from software, creating a new way of thinking design as technological cartography.
The models are related to a playful and analogical representation to recreate the reality of a utopian architecture in the style of the idealistic projects of Xul Solar and the Avant-gardes of the beginning of the 20th century.
The development of the body is related to an erotic and feminist reading about a new archetype of contemporary inhabitant of these new spatial metaphors, redefining the female and male roles in a more libertarian and erotic way.
