Alfonso's art practice is deeply influenced by her background in extreme physical training, including nine years of Olympic speed walking preparation. This intense regimen instilled a solid connection for order and repetition, a theme that persisted as she moved to the US and worked in various labor roles. This experience led her to reflect on the hidden aspects of labor despite its visible results, which she then incorporated into her art. Mainly, she explores how the trajectory of lines in her work relates to her body's movements and emotional control, reflecting her obsession with efficiency and progress from her athletic past.

Concepts of invisibility and visibility are central to Alfonso's artistic approach, shaping her development of drawings, installations, performances, and videos. She investigates hidden structures within walls using scans and X-ray-like drawings, offering viewers new perspectives beyond surface appearances. This pursuit of revealing hidden truths extends to intensifying physical presence through her use of lines, showcasing their pivotal role in her work as they reflect her muscle memory and inner autopilot.

In her LineScape series, Alfonso moves away from her previous monochromatic style and incorporates colored drawings. This change stems from her experiences in nature, mainly biking through the Florida Everglades, where she encountered intricate life-supporting frameworks within floral systems. This exploration prompts more profound questions about life sustainability across species, enriching the narrative embedded in her art.
