Research Interests
Research interests and expertise
“What drives my practice is the dialogue I like to make happen between two entities in devising a project. On one side, there is my main interest, what defines me: individuality within collaboration. On the other side, there are conditions in which my interest can develop, the context of the project. The result of this dialogue will be then what I will share. I like to think of myself as a strategist, creating frameworks for individuals to feel free within them.”Teaching
