Through a unique combination of visual images the video plays with a certain vision of reality and illusion - histories and culture(s) and the ambiguities of a cultural or a national identity. The artist combines the work created - video and computer techno-applications to explore her aesthetics ... Each set of geographical, political and sociological circumstances prescribe different labels. We come to believe in labels and to limit ourselves within the parameter of that imposed identity. We have to struggle to mediate between what we know to be the self and the outward deluge of imposed descriptors.
