Describing her work, she said: By this, part of my long working experience and repertoire is represented, in which I showcase  part of the history of my country and the island in which I live, and often my work is appreciated or is simply not Known through the costumes of the historical phases that characterize my designs, but I insist on presenting part of our privacy by using the workshops as a means and a tool with the work team to spread the simulation of making traditional costumes with a new composition of court fashion that emerges from simulating the means and tastes of the most loyal classes in the practice of social democracy In that era of history is implausible, giving it a decisive sobriety and quiet presence through reinterpretation. 

 And to adapt as much as possible with the means available, that's why today this project is open to the world, cross-cultural, and non-political as the best example of what we can best integrate a form of multicultural coexistence with amazing results. Realizing, therefore, we interpret this as an invitation to concern ourselves with how to understand beauty in a manner that characterizes the “La Palma way”, claiming that it is a comprehensive and respectful way of seeing life in peace with the world and with life like the beauty of Carmen’s belonging to her homeland – the quiet island (La Palma). The artist has always insisted that the process is the process of creating the different pieces, so that it is not limited to collecting the required materials only, from different vegetable fabrics such as linen or cotton to colored wool ribbons, crochet or other different materials. But after collecting the materials, they are taken to the workshops, where the participants learn how to transform them so that all the pieces start with drawing a pattern, then work begins in the sewing workshops for the artistic performer in a suit worn by the models or the audience creative to the widest area in the world.
