Her photographs are single images taken in reversible film and are still hand printed in "Cibachrome". Her photographic survey, without any digital intervention, is carried through a deep existential and thorough investigation which shows an unusual and authentic sensitivity. These images belong to three different bodies of works but are part of a broader project on the possibilities of interaction with the places where she decides to do her photographs, wherever they may be.
