1971, São Paulo/SP, Brazil.
Lives and works in São Paulo.
Artist, photographer, researcher and visual poet who uses photography as the main language, especially in its expanded field. In her works, she uses experimental practices as a way of creating resistance and giving new meanings to the view domesticated by the acceleration of the world in contemporary society. Her artistic production bets on the latency of silence and on the encounter between image and word to produce poetic works (almost tactile) that intertwine life and imagination and permeate themes such as the ordinary, the rough, the memory, the time and its rugosities. Graduated in Law by PUC/SP. She studied photography at the Panamericana School of Art and Design. Lato sensu Post-Graduate in Art Education at SENAC/SP. Master in Communication and Semiotics and PhD student in Communication and Semiotics, both at PUC/SP. Participated in national and international collective exhibitions. Her first photobook “Segunda Pele”(Second Skin), edited and published in 2022 by Fotô Editorial, was awarded by the Belfast Photo Festival 2023 and selected for the Photobook Awards 2024, in Braga, Portugal.
