Winnaar van de ImPulsTanz – Young Choreographers’ Award 2022, met een residentie in de ImPulsTanz [8:tension] serie, voegde hij zich in 2022 bij de artistieke residentie van Instituto Inclusartiz. Zij ontwikkelen strategieën en choreograferen acties om representaties te ontsnappen. Door ongedisciplineerde praktijken provoceren hun creaties incidenten tussen dans, performance en hedendaagse visuele kunsttalen, waarbij aspecten zoals mimesis, representatie en beeldstudies choreograferen door dissidente lichamen worden toegepast. Gedreven door de uitdagingen van het spanningsveld van het heden, heeft ze haar werk sinds 2018 gepresenteerd in kunstgalerijen en nationale en internationale festivals zoals Tanya Bonakdar Gallery (NY), Panorama Festival, ArtRio, Lateral Roma, HOA ART, Artfizz, Jaqueline Martins Gallery, Les Urbaines (CH), SP-ARTE, Display (CZ), Itaú Cultural, SESC, A GentilCarioca gallery, Despina. Onder haar recentste werken werd de Repertório-trilogie, gerealiseerd in samenwerking met kunstenaar Davi Pontes, gepresenteerd op de VERBO-tentoonstelling in de Vermelho galerij, het internationale beeldfestival van Valongo, de Anita Schwartz art gallery, Frestas – Triennial of the Arts 2020/21 en bij My Wild Flags (SE). Zij regisseerden de film Delirar o racial in samenwerking met kunstenaar Davi Pontes, in opdracht van het Satellite Pivot-programma, 2021. Binnen de Ballroom/Vogue-cultuur ontvingen zij de titel van Empress van Maison Mamba Negra, en traden op in São Paulo, Brasília en Rio de Janeiro.
