The artist does not even for an instant remain in the reality shaped by reason. The dream and its surroundings are her second skin.
Getting to what is real means then disclosing a magic territory that only belongs to her and it is also her dwelling.
However, there is no doubt that that poetic extravagance makes her inspiration ability more dynamic.

Transport aims to provoke an intense feeling and sometimes a transgressive answer.
