The artist proposes an exhibition where the human body assumes half-animal and half-human forms. “The human body is the sacred place where my drawing and sculpture practice lie. Thus the body’s complexity and fragility becomes the essential thread throughout my work. Oscillating between the familiar and the strange, the ridicule and the tragic, I try to grasp the movement of these emotions, inscribe these impulsions and retrace the memory.” Drawing straight from connotations of materials, metaphors and symbols, the artist pursues her research of the notions of identity and alterity. Little by little, animality introduces itself within her work; the body is slowly metamorphosed borrowing certain anatomic aspects of the animal. The exhibition is an extension of the sculpture work which was in progress at the time.
