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.

The artwork, Talking to Strangers, which is born out of people’s attention to my name in Sydney during the first years of my arrival. It is an intervention which explores the feelings when I had recently arrived in Sydney.
