Artist Statement: My investigation is through comprehensive research on the culturally constructed and reproduced image of what is feminine, its implications, resonances, repulsions and curses. It is a search for naming the symbols of the grotesque, delusional and violent universe that permeates a woman's life and her relationship with her body and sexuality. About the deviations, the considered perversions and the caricature of this construction. About my obsession with female figures, of which I grew up surrounded, who were always at some crucial moment in their lives and needed to redefine themselves, which sometimes happened as a liberation, sometimes as a suicide, or a madness. Somehow, they responded to the imponderable with the weapons they had. I believe that, when they realized that they were defined by their relationships with other people and not as individuals, they had to decide a new direction in their lives or conform to what is expected of them. In some cases, the solution was death. In others, death in life, turning or looking hollow, being aware of colored napkins from time to time. And from time to time that anguish changes as it follows, fascinated and helpless, the flight of the fly around the cake. My research is about the dead, about the hysterical, about the infanticide, about the suicidal, about catching fire while watching Vale a Pena Ver de Novo, about the mother, the grandmother and the daughter. This practice unfolds in exhibitions, essays and independent publications, collaborative works and study groups.
