The title of the work comes from the expression "butterfly effect" which sums up a metaphor about the fundamental phenomenon of sensitivity to initial conditions of "chaos theory" and which means that tiny differences, in input, could quickly become overwhelming differences in output. A phenomenon that gives sensitive dependence to the initial conditions that we know as the "butterfly effect". The disfiguring of the geometry of the three forms expresses the denial of the form and its representation. Between a form and a form there is a form. To disfigure a form is to deform it in order to give it a form. Disfiguration that takes shape from a form that we almost never leave.
In this process of disfiguration, a new form reveals itself when the old form disappears by the help of a radical gesture. The representation of each form is both; a re-presentation and a de-presentation which makes each form autonomous and independent. My forms here do not have an order or finality in their form which is not the same as saying that they have no value or meaning. It's an approach to the world that you just can't seem to find a global meaning to it. A world that is essentially chaos.

In my work I try to connect life and death.
Time and beyond time.
My work is a research for The Real where It is no longer me or about me. The Real, the indissoluble limit of interpretation which paradoxically grounds the subject in its fleeting consistency. The Real continually enacts and dissolves with the Imaginary and the Symbolic.
“There is always something to do with performance underlying her work, which she, the artist, still inhabits, occupying the empty interior spaces suggested by her objects / installations in order to give them life and move around the space, in an open invitation to viewers to actively immerse themselves within the work itself. In this sense, the question posed in the title of this project, “And if I die?”, could offer a possible solution springing from the very nature of the artist’s work. Perhaps accepting the fleetingness of life is not such a serious matter, as it will be others who, by “immersing themselves in her work”, will give a meaning not only to the work itself but to its existence.”
