Philosophical and Psychological elements are the constant source of motivation behind the character of her works and also the main centre of interest of her poetries. Thoughts about existence (like the work for female voice «Aessenza-Del Vuoto l'inganno» based on a text from Pasolini), about «Id, ego and super-ego», her report with the unconscious (like the work for female voice, viola and piano «Iònon», based on a text from Sylvia Plath), about time and evil (like the string quartet «In stanze- I Fui Ora- II Emofollia- III Rorscharch»), about the \»veil of
Maya\» in the conception of Shopenauer (like the work for string orchestra \»Màyam- Lo stesso altro\»), are the result of an introspective research in continuous evolution.
Her works has been performed by prominent performers like The String Quartet «Quartetto Sincronie», Saxophones Quartet «Lost Cloud Quartet», the violist Luca Sanzò, the soprano vocalist Keiko Morikawa and the pianist Maurizio Paciariello, the Arrigoni Orchestra.
