Her works are mainly made with natural and / or recycled materials to procure the lowest possible environmental impact.

About Susi:

“... she measures her time also through her art. The way to interpret her life is closely linked to the natural cycle: life flows, inside and outside of us, in a constant relationship with the natural elements (...) that are intertwined with our existence. The weather flows, we with her (...). The cycle is complete and has found its rhythm, its meaning. "

 

The space, the natural element, the materials are very important in all her works. Whether they are photos or artifacts, Nature is the protagonist. Whether by choice of subject or for the materials used for the realization since these are always with minimal environmental impact (recycled or natural).
