This collection, from 2009, world year of Astronomy, was presented in many places, like the planetario in Padua, sometimes along with live concerts.

The will for discover new painting dimensions moved her closer to body painting in 2013, so she started experimenting the painting on the bodies. The discovery and the experimentation of this art, so ancient and at the same time so modern, rappresented a sort of reincarnation, a transition: from the ethical and  thin worlds to the living materia! In the bodypainting the art is alive through the body that wears it, and finally it can dance, laugh and sing.

In 2016 she was Italian Champion in Sponge and Brush category.
