My research focuses on installation and the use of various media, including painting, sculpture, new technologies, and video. The starting point is the theory of philosopher Floridi, which centers on the current human condition, divided between the digital and real worlds, poetically visualized as the habitat of mangroves living in balance between fresh and salt water.

In the digital realm, forms and objects tend to dematerialize, merging to become intangible. My works embody the paradox of a physical, soft, and hybrid restitution, not purely virtual. The heterogeneity of my installations and works becomes a space for questioning the relationship between humanity and technology, a dialogue of creation, adversity, and continuous transformation.

I am interested in the transformation of the image, which changes and often disappears, frequently stripped of the system of signs it was able to evoke, creating a void in which technology finds its space.
My research examines the interaction between humans—with their memories, actions, desires, and hopes—and the evolution of the technological sphere that shapes our contemporary world.
