My work focuses on how the viewer/spectator elaborates images and on the creation of different forms of language in response to them. For this reason, my work addresses different issues connected to the field of ‘performativity’. Performance and Theatre are two important references in my work and I aim to explore and utilize them as media to constantly question the fruition and the role of the audience/spectator.

In my practice, collective imagination, which could be referred to an audience, engages with the personal and individual approach of the spectator. In my own work, I always define myself as spectator, developing images and questioning their dominance in my personal imagination. Often these images will come back in my production, suggesting obsessions and how reality (or what we define under this term) might be dominated by constructed language.
