The artist, famous for her works with depth and architectural influences, presents us in "Modernist Embroidery" a minimalist, sensitive and delicate work.

The choice of materials and theme is incredibly feminine, and reminds the viewer of the process of creating a work of art. Felt, needles and embroidery are ancient objects that have always been present in everyday life. They are primitive, as are the shapes presented, the square and the circle. The work can be seen as a symbol of time.
