One constant throughout Casarino's artistic career has been the representation of the female figure in domestic space. Paradoxically, Casarino alludes to the female presence through the very absence of her physical form by constantly returning to the visual motifs of female silhouettes and empty dress forms. The photographic series of six images, "Inside", removes the physical presence of the woman from domestic spaces and replaces her silhouette with transposed fragments of other rooms from the following image. The woman is thereby dually inscribed within the very framework of the domestic space while also escaping it. These works challenge established conceptions of the role of the woman in society both inside and outside of the home through various political, social, and personal lenses. In addition to her career as an artist, Casarino became director of the Fundación Migliorisi (Asuncion) in 2006.
