Synopsis:

Rooted in the belief that memes possess the power to transcend their original context, the artist seeks to create a spiritual landscape in which to lay not only her own emotions but also the emotions of others. For her, memes are not just descriptions that locate their content in a specific historical space and time, but a description that creates, as the background of the phenomenon it describes, an inexistent space of its own, a synthesis with the audience.

No meme is an Island, they are all products of the social and cultural environment in which they are created, disseminated, and evolved. They carry with them the collective memories, emotions, and values of the people who created and shared them. Memes possess a remarkable ability to trigger an emotion, a personal encounter, or a mental state that strikes a chord with individuals. The artist is interested in the brutal simplicity of memes and how it triggers a whole universe of feelings and consoles a distant soul. For her, it bridges the emotional gap that was once created by the matrix of digital communication.

"Memes can be humorous, sarcastic, poignant, or thought-provoking, and they can provide a sense of shared experience and connection among people who may be separated by time, distance, or culture. Metaphors and poetry are vital in art, memes are modern poetries." said the artist.
