Her artistic work consider photography as a sensitive channel for conveying messages on social themes and for giving visibility to intimate and taboo issues. She is currently working on a long term project on radium workers who applied radium paint to watch hands and dials. Daily contact with this highly radioactive substance was not without risks for these women, who contributed behind the scenes to the renown of the Swiss watchmaking industry between the 20s and the 60s. This project is the winner of the City of Geneva's Grant for a Documentary Photographic Project.
