Statement / Bio
My work stems from the exploration of the fantastic imagination through the use of recycled and reclaimed materials. My research moves between photography, sculpture, and site-specific installations, with the aim of creating visual narratives that transport the viewer into imaginary worlds, suspended between reality and invention.
I use industrial waste, advertising materials, and production residues as narrative matter: elements originally created for consumption and obsolescence are transformed into organic forms, flowers, masks, garments, and symbolic landscapes. Imagination thus becomes a critical tool, capable of reinterpreting overproduction, abandonment, and the decay of the industrial system, restoring new meanings and possibilities.
As an artist and designer, I collaborate with institutions, museums, foundations, and brands, integrating art and design within a vision where form, function, and ethics coexist. The participatory dimension is central to my practice: through workshops and experiential laboratories—often based on the use of discarded materials—I actively involve both children and adults in the creation of collective works and site-specific installations.
My practice reflects a deep commitment to sustainability and participatory art: I constantly seek new ways to bring together aesthetics, ethics, and human interaction.
