Her social sculptures manifest ideas of language through semiotic structures that give life to the symbols, gestures and materials she uses. This corporal gesture is equal to any text that could be spoken or written in regards to her intentions. Which is why she uses the animal motif to carry an unsaid connection point between herself and the viewers. Offering them a space to sit, lay and reflect inside her creation is the ultimate gesture of both vulnerability and sentiment. This is not often found between the art object and its onlooker, although this hospitality can be frequently found in natural landscapes like a moss-soaked forest bed or a sunlit beach.
