Exploring aesthetics that draw from literature to medieval symbolism, my research embraces subjects recalling my autobiographical past and personal experiences. Silent landscapes, home to ancient Biblical and Koranic stories, an unconscious sense of guilt, the peremptory presence of a feminine person: through these metaphors I reinterpret archetypes and myths belonging to the origins and classical traditions of the Mediterranean area.


Performances, photographic and video works summon back to life their inherent political power, causing them to intimately and subversively betray their origins, and instilling them with new possible meanings and interpretations, in a shift back and forth from East to West.
