ORIGIN
1995, Belo Horizonte, MG.
Lives and works in Contagem, MG.
Gestated between carpentry (father) and words (mother), she moves like a prayer in search of survival and healing of the landscapes she inhabits. She understands her own body as a trap, and her action as micropolitics in dealing with the spatiality that her work evokes, confronts and confuses.
