Graduated from Superior School of Industrial Design at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The artist uses the digital environment as a way to explain her investigations and reflections related to digital presence; surveillance; digital bodies; self expression and psychological damage on the cyberspace crossed by her subconscious – while investigating social behavior in face of the development of new visual information technologies, in contemporary society. The transposition of her thinking through the immateriality presented in digital are central points in the works developed by the artist in recent years.
