She creates compositions from food products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, bottoms of jars of all kinds from her daily life. The meeting of different materials fascinates her. "At the beginning of 2022, the realization of a painting on a cardboard tent ORIG-AMI reminded me of my first love for patinas and acrylic paint. The paint blends beautifully with the cardboard and reveals all its nobility. As a signature, I added a small clitoris with a stencil because I claim the fact of being a woman artist and because in this field also women have more difficulty to emerge than men. From there was born a small family of clitoris in different positions, that I realized in stencil. I then started to tag the walls of Brussels with my clitoris and there, I felt a real utility in what I was doing The ORIG-AMI is a cardboard shelter measuring 117 x 235 x 150 cm. It is insulating, protective because of its structure, foldable like an accordion, transportable like a backpack and recyclable. The homeless shelter was designed on the principle of origami, a Japanese technique of paper folding.
