Here the artist plays with light and its projections.[10] Irene pays special attention to making pieces that change as the observer walks around them, playing with what is real and unreal.[11] Colors, figures and patterns emerge from her plexiglass artwork constituting a play of perspectives,. Here Irene pays special attention to the observer's position and immersion. This exhibit traveled from Venice and Berlin.[12]
