Artist and designer, she holds a PhD in Visual Languages from UFRJ (2018), where she also completed her master’s degree. She develops multidisciplinary installation projects that articulate mechanisms, objects, photographs, drawings, videos, and sculptures. In her works emerge metabolic creatures, machinic chimeras, terracotta fossils, and a multiplicity of real and fabular beings.
Her growing interest in fictional worlds inhabited by a diversity of mythical beings establishes kingdoms and hybrid narratives. In her process, hair clips are brought closer to marine creatures with aggressive tentacles; garbage bags momentarily transport her to Alice’s Wonderland and its rabbit; and books open like nests from which bird-fish and other imaginary creatures emerge. Vases, when fitted together, form a giant mythological creature composed of terracotta rings — a border-body that inhabits zones of passage between land and sea, the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown.
Like an asterism, her practice brings together imaginary constellations between art, science, and low technology. She is also concerned with the atmospheres of exhibition spaces and other environments her body traverses. By occupying unconventional sites, she explores situations in which the body becomes incorporated into the work: in movement, she activates atmospheres, creates intimacy with possible worlds and modes of existence, and expands forms of relation with the environment.
Her body also operates as a site of resistance, refusing gender classifications and moving in singular ways throughout her process. Drawing on her studies in psychomotricity, she creates multisensory connections and adopts a queer mode of operation. She invents atmospheres and folds them into spiraling temporalities that allow encounters between past and future, producing an intense sense of presence through the hybrid object-beings she creates—entities with which she dances and sets into motion.
In 2024, the artist took part in the Híbridos artistic residency in Portugal, supported by the Directorate-General for the Arts and the Portuguese Republic. The experience reaffirmed a poetics oriented toward the creation of an inexhaustible real world sustained in the gaps between what we see, perceive, and imagine. This modus operandi also guided her occupation of the Library of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of Porto with the exhibition Pássaros Lacunares.
In 2025, in addition to the solo exhibition elataquidentro, which occupied the Solar Grandjean de Montigny, the artist returns to Portugal to conclude the project “Que(m) sabe de que(m) sou feita,” initiated in 2023 during a residency at Trust Collective and at Espaço AND Lab in Lisbon. The project unfolds with individualized guidance and the direct application of the MO_AND by Fernanda Eugenio, within the framework of the Crafting program.
