Inspired by the writings of Donna J. Haraway, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Greg Egan, the work plunges us into a speculative future, where samples of then extinct plant species are preserved and displayed in a virtual archive room. Through editing and visual strategies, this archive room is sporadically transformed under the effect of interference caused by the memory emanating from the listed plants, revealing traces of a past that continues to haunt the place. Floralia is a simulation of ecosystems born from the fusion of technology and organic matter, where past and future coexist in a perpetual tension of the present.

Her practice focuses on the multiple manifestations of the digital image: analog video, 3D animation, photogrammetry, printing, sculpture, virtual reality and installation. The integration of new techniques formally supports the themes that run through her works such as the psychological influence that the digital environment exerts on our perception of the world as well as the relationship that we have with the virtual aspect of existence.
She was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award (CAN) in 2019 and 2020 and her work is part of the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art collection and the Hydro-Quebec collection. It has been presented internationally by institutions including Laforet Museum (Tokyo), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Musée National des Beaux-arts du Québec (Quebec City), PHI Center (Montreal), Chronus Art Center, (Shanghai), Museum of the Moving Image (New York). In 2022, a retrospective at Gaîté Lyrique in Paris.
