The artwork, The Marias, investigates how a social identity - mine included - might be constructed in Sydney. The work is an installation of photographs of people with the name Maria and text that they used to express their identity. With this work, I investigate the way people assign an identity to others and to themselves.

The artwork, To Leave To Live, explores the use of English as a foreign language. This work consists of a loop recording of my voice saying the words “to leave or to live” using two speakers and the same words written in a corner of the gallery. The words are hardly readable/audible in the proximity to the corner. I want to explore with this work how a Spanish accent creates language dislocations - between meaning and words.
