Her recent artistic accomplishments include: Illustrations for the Posthuman Villa, a project done in collaboration with Mario Coppola at the Italian Pavilion in the Biennale of Architecture (2021) and creating the drawings for The Greatest Whole, a book by King Khan to be published by In the Red Records (2023) and based on a collaborative tarot deck of sexual illumination.
