While she also offers her skilled hand at creating realistic limbs, de Oliveira Barata's "surreal" and "unreal" lines of alternative limbs are the most unique and eye-catching attractions, boasting a variety of color and texture. Each of her designs offer a sense of individuality, allowing the customer to express their personality through their synthetic appendages. The artist says, "Having an alternative limb is about claiming control and saying 'I'm an individual and this reflects who I am.'"
