Artist's Statement
Throughout the years Rafaella, has developed an imitable alphabet that comes out of her self really physically, an alphabet of new signs and objects, an unreadable for the majority that she is constantly creating and investigating thoroughly.

She is interested in the trouble and the missundersdanding of the words, dialectos, letters and language(s) itself.
