Her artistic approach is oriented towards the practice of the landscape considered as a material, the elements of which collected, moved and transformed, constitute the matrix of his installations.
Highlighted during an exhibition, they present themselves as so many clues of the places crossed.
The cast shadows they generate invite the viewer to look in turn « on the features of a stranger, another or elsewhere » (Mehdi Brit).
