Quirky, sensitive, detailed, off beat, bright and directed, uncanny compositions and multiple strings of reality. 

Marisa focuses all her attention on the moments where human body and environment become indistinguishable. Her gaze for scenography and unique settings reflects her innate sensitivity for emotions and details. She is deeply interested in uncovering and yet also obscuring our human vulnerability. Obsessed with forms and strange moments, Her photographs are oddly impersonal and a bit too close all at the same time.

Recent venues include Jen Bekman Gallery, Steven Woolf Fine Arts and University of the Arts.
