As a performance maker and visual artist, Rosa creates universes around a central research theme. Within these universes, a series of artworks arise, building upon each other: from interactive book presentations to live drawings. Often, she reverses the roles of the audience and the artwork, inviting the audience to act as co-creators in her exploration of the boundaries between the body and architecture. Her inspiration draws from video games and board games, and the instructional methods these media employ. She also has a passion for graphic novels, modular furniture, and book design.

Her work is rooted in intersectional feminism. It's empathetic, poetic, personal, non-hierarchical, and finds meaning in the nuances. She believes the focus on economic value, efficiency, and competition has become excessive in our society. Therefore, she sees art as playing a crucial role in connecting people to themselves and to each other. Her work activates the senses, allowing the audience to meet themselves, each other, and their environment in the present moment.
