Maria’s practice is a sustained inquiry into the choreography of belief — how it is performed, enforced, and aestheticized across religious, political, and cultural spheres. She explores the tension between transcendence and control, engaging with religious heritage as both a metaphysical force and an instrument of earthly power. Drawing on iconographic traditions, she examines modern rituals, digital forms of spirituality, and the lasting impact of spiritual and ideological systems on individuals and society.
