Ferreira provides the audience with an intriguing portrayal of the "unspoken dialogue between different generations within the family". Using her own family as the source of production for this work, she explores both the complexities and constructive arrangements of family communication. Her five-piece body of work incorporates older generations with the present generation in narrative scenes.

'When a child's development is arrested, when feelings are repressed (especially the feelings of shame, anger and hurt) a person grows up to be an adult with a shamed, angry, hurt child inside of him.".

Through her work, de la Bat reveals fragments of "see me, hear me and allow me to be, in terms of psychological processes. From what was revealed, the child could be reconstructed and like in an archeological excavation, presented in order to acknowledge her existence."

Price writes about her work: "Princess Vlei is a wetland in an urban area and a specific site of trauma, inextricably linked to the displacement of people and currently, under real threat of destruction by commercial development."

Through the use of multiple exposures, the work "situates the viewer in close proximity to the anxiety of impending violation and freedom/release from cycles of trauma."
