Participation and collective engagement are central to her approach, fostering cooperation as a path to more meaningful and transformative experiences.

Since 2009, she has been exhibiting regularly in Portugal and Brazil, including solo and group shows at the Medeiros e Almeida Foundation (Lisbon) and SESC Ipiranga (São Paulo), curated by Maria de Fátima Lambert.
