The nail serves as an analog pixel for her, through which she builds pictorial and sculptural images through a manual process of nailing point by point, without prior drawing.

The wooden surfaces, natural or ready-made, undergo intensive processing that includes covering with cork, alloying and nailing, until creating a uniform and saturated surface. Through precise and slow manual work, she builds connections between nature and industrial material, and blurs the boundaries between painting, sculpture and design.In the repetitive and precise process, a meditative experience takes place, in which the monotonous action allows for convergence, concentration and relaxation of thought. Over the years of her practice, she discovered that according to Japanese palmistry, pressing the thumb is linked to the adrenal gland, which, among other things, helps reduce anxiety.
