Her photographic works are distinguished by the use of three-dimensional surfaces, achieved by the use of innovative methods in combination with traditional photographic technique. The content of her artwork often emphasizes the subject of "Man and Woman"
Her 2012 exhibit, 'Mr. Big' at the "Naked Men" ("Nackte Männer") exposition in the Leopold Museum (Vienna) has caused considerable local controversy.
