"The multi-media artist investigates western notions of paradisiacal island worlds that have nothing in common with the actual social realities.
In her video Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis, she pokes fun at one of the most popular symbols for an exoticizing way of seeing - the hibiscus flower.
At first, a huge red blossom fills the picture, but then the artist's face can be seen hiding behind it as she begins to eat the flower until only her face is left. Her eyes look back at the eyes of the viewer: a statement that is both simple and powerful and that signalizes a growing self-awareness among artists from the Pacific region."
