She was a pioneer of art video in Latin America. In France, she was considered to be the most important director of the Americas and had over 46 exhibitions outside Mexico. However, her work was often misunderstood, and now it has been forgotten by the public. Her family has strived to preserve her legacy and has donated photographs, slides, and negatives of her work.
