Her artistic work is an allegory of human behaviors. They are visual fables that challenge violence. It is a series of sculptures and stories presented through symbols that have an understandable cultural load from childhood to adulthood because they are part of popular culture, children's literature, animal farms, and collective imaginations. Through the images of the fables, the public is brought closer to new narratives that confront them with the beliefs transmitted by a sexist culture.

They are alternatives to the “stories” that we believe and that subject women not only to symbolic violence, but also to the internalization of ideas with which they live internally and that make them relate from positions of subordination, obedience, submission, passivity. , silence, guilt, shame and lack of agency.

They are a journey between fabled animals that intersect with the protagonist of this story, a warrior who assumes the powers offered to her by friendly animals and who overcomes the obstacles of the cruelest beasts.
