Santos explores ideas of self-hood that embrace multiplicity, hybridity and transformation through a reflection of movement, migration and change, while considering the fragmented yet empowering relationships to heritage. Immigrating to Canada from the Philippines at a young age serves as a departure point for her considerations regarding identity, belongingness, discrimination and oppression, as well as the tether to a culture and ancestry graspable only through enactments of memory.
