Her work engages with intellectual and material histories, ranging from the sociopolitical conditions of Lima in the late 1970s, to the legacy of modernist canons within the history of photography. She is currently preparing a solo exhibition with as-is.la gallery, scheduled for the fall of 2021, as well as a monograph, forthcoming from Dais Books.
