Andrea grew up among wood, concrete, and the border. Immersed in trades related to architecture and design. She remains in a constant state of translation. By actively thinking and working within the parameters of translation, she allows herself to open new possibilities of creation, where the boundaries of meaning associated with a material have not yet been altered or expanded.
