According to the artist herself, art is a vehicle for reflection; consequently, seeking to convey an intimate and personal experience to a collective space, she recurrently uses performance art to achieve her purpose. Topics such as the dichotomy of endurance and submission in the artistic, social and individual levels are treated with such extreme violence and tension, that, as a metaphor of human suffering, it impedes the traditional kindly contemplative reception.
