The artist experiments with the surroundings and with the traditional approach to the sculptural form. She does not exhibit individual objects but rather unfolds her work into the space thereby imparting the sense of infinity. Where the fields of charcoal and wooden pegs begin or end is indefinable, they combine materials with diverse properties, and the work is both fragmentary and austere.

The young artist continues the Bulgarian artistic tradition of working with natural materials and thinking of nature in terms of a harmonious relationship with the human world. The natural is that cosmic dimension which sets the rhythm, cycle and authenticity of living.
