This passion runs throughout her personal work which expands to the coverage of the more contemporary issues in her home country and abroad, such as themes of humanity, religion or the environment and changes to the environment, which she translates into her own experiences.  She creates framework for the human to reflect on the consequences of our decisions and actions.
