In my work, I study the representation of the female body in contemporary visual culture. I incorporate these images into collages and works on paper. These images are edited (scratched, pasted, cut into pieces and / or painted). Models are displayed in different guises, such as warrior, nymph, hybrid, transformer or domestic.
In earlier work I focused on transformation, metamorphosis and mythology by incorporating animal or cyborg-like elements in representations of women, thereby strengthening their superhuman proportions. In more recent
work I investigate how human figures can approach the status of object.
