She likes to combine different arts which leaded her to make the installations SoundScopes (Basel, 2021) and LISTEN (Basel, 2022), and the video-performance Protect me from what I want (Basel, 2021).

In 2021 she released “Lo abismal, el agua” (ears&eyes records), English translation: The abyssal, the water, which title refers to the hexagram of the I-ching, the book of mutations, and that says: “water reaches its goal by flowing without interruption”. Through eight songs, the artist tells the story of her journey to Switzerland not only with lyrics, but also with her wordless vocals and her arrangements, building a bridge between Argentinian music roots, and jazz.
In Autumd 2022 she is planing a tour in Switzerland, France and Germany.
