She has an initial education in cultural studies, with a focus on the Mediterranean and the Middle East (Universit\u00e0 di Napoli L&#8217;Orientale, Italy), and holds a practical\u2013theoretical PhD in Visual Arts (Universit\u00e9 Aix-Marseille, France), co-supervised by Mario Cresci.<br \/>\nHer research-creation work initially focused on the representation of the Mediterranean and its imagery, analysing the sea as a heterotopic and allegorical border territory. Her approach has increasingly focused on the evolution of the medium of photography in contemporary culture, as well as on the use of archives\/documents as an artistic practice. Grounded in a transdisciplinary way of thinking, she focuses on speculative gestures and narratives as means of reimagining territories and transforming ways of thinking about and inhabiting the world, thereby fostering a political and cultural approach to art. In her work, she employs a variety of media, from video to objects, drawings, sculptures and installations.<br \/>\nHer works have been displayed in Italy and abroad in group and solo exhibitions, including: Stanze Spazi Universi, Italian Cultural Institute in Marseille (2018); Cartografia performativa del Mediterraneo, Arcoscenico-Numero Cromatico (2020); Lo spazio necessario, joint solo exhibition with Mario Cresci (Red Lab Gallery, 2020); Lo spazio necessario, f4 Festival, Fabbri Foundation (2022). She is the winner of the 2021 New Post Photography Award (Mia Photo Fair).<br \/>\nHer most recent publications as an author include: 2020, &#8216;The Mediterranean surface and the archetype of the island as contemporary paradigms for accessing cultural commons&#8217;, in Cultural Commons and Urban Dynamics.
