The themes of memory, death and transience are at the center of her artistic work. She approaches these with various photographic methods and artistic strategies such as reporting (about visitors to the cemetery), productions that are reminiscent of vanitas-like still lifes, an autobiographical securing of evidence with a fictional family album of her grandmother, to the interplay of documentary photography and appropriation , the handling of memory images.
