The photograph is printed with archival pigment ink on Epson paper. There is a 10 cm white border to add to the dimension of the image. You may decide to frame with the border or not. The structure is made from plastic bottles, various containers and submersible lights. It took two months to make the structure. It is also available at 16 inches wide in an edition of 10 + 2 A.P. In a context of climate change where little is being done to slow it down, I have built a dress that allows me to float in an upright position, such that if the water level rises I am ready to float and enter the water. The structures are made from recycled clear plastic containers, mainly water bottles, as a metaphor of consumer society and the use of fossil fuel. Moreover, I like the quality of the light as it shines through the plastic. In Meduse, the floating structure is transformed into an igloo as the water is frozen and I am standing on the snow. The result is very organic. The photograph was taken at dusk and the reflection on the snow gives a very intense blue.

This led me to develop my own approach and techniques to transform myself with light. Lighting also plays an important role in my photo collage work. The human body is consistently an integral part of her practice. She is interested in the friction brought about by the changing technological environment we are constantly adapting to. In an era where we are overloaded with too much data and imagery she takes great care in spending a lot of time (often 2months) to build structures or to make a collage that lures the viewer into reflecting on current issues in a metaphorical and sometimes humorous way. Artist Statement: We live in a period of transformation, as the climate is changing we relate to others and get access to information increasingly via screens, our windows onto the world, which are altering our sense of reality. Paradoxically, we are genetically manipulating life forms as we are in a period of great extinction of species. The light emanating from the screens absorb our attention and we become only a silhouette in front of their light source.
