In her work, Paz examines the "fragments of life"and
analyzes the patterns of psychological and social behavior.
The focus of her work is mainly social; she raises questions
about migrant relationships, family, identity, memory,
sexuality, and desire. In the last three years she has
created video installations intended to create an alternative,
in both space and form, for experiencing time-based media.
