Lives and works in São Paulo.

Visual artist, photographer, researcher, poet (or aspiring to be), woman and multiplier, who uses photography as the main language, especially in its expanded field. Her artistic production uses experimental practices as a way of creating resistance and giving new meanings to the view tamed by the fragmentation of time. In her works, she bets on the latency of silence and on the encounter between image and word to produce visual poems, videos, sculptures, among other artistic pieces. She is interested in the creation of poetic works – almost tactile - in which the rough, the reverse (the hidden side of the things), memory, time and its rugosities are powerful explorations of the very body of the images. She studied photography at the Panamericana School of Art and Design. Lato sensu Post-Graduate in Art Education at SENAC/SP and Master's degree in Communication and Semiotics at PUC/SP. Also graduated in Law from PUC/SP. Her first photobook “Segunda Pele” (Second Skin), edited and published in 2022 by Fotô Editorial, was awarded by the Belfast Photo Festival 2023.
