This research gradually led me to the figure of the witch as a central symbol of the monstrous feminine. In 2022, I was part of a remote residence, in which I developed the first works around this topic, and then I spent the following three years researching the history of witchcraft in Portugal and Brazil during my PhD, focusing on women's bodies, vernatcular rituals, and mechanisms of control. During this period, I began working with Portuguese tiles, embroidery, and installation, and this body of work culminated in my first solo exhibition, The Devil, The Witch and God Almighty, presented in August 2025 in a medieval cistern in Lisbon.

Since then, I have continued developing work centered on women's history, witchcraft, the female body, and religious symbolism, creating symbolic and narrative-driven pieces that connect archival research with contemporary visual language.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have pursued training in storyboard, screenplay, and animation, and have developed numerous projects independently and in collaboration with other artists. My work as an animator and director is closely linked to music videos, a format through which I continue to explore rhythm, narrative, and visual experimentation.
