Asleep with the Fishes weaves together personal memories, beliefs, and family history with elements of fantasy. Employing assemblage and sculptural techniques, Teresa works with repurposed materials—including a salvaged boat—to create a space of layered meaning. Drawing on religious iconography and mythological references, she explores her own position within the Maltese diaspora, and the contradictions of cultural identity, displacement, and belonging.
