"Angel Wings" (2024) faz parte da série Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (desde 2022), que retrata fragmentos de um universo íntimo e mundano, onde a festa e a diversão servem de escape à dureza do mundo exterior — marcado por guerras, injustiças e desigualdades (referindo o trabalho da autora sobre a República Democrática do Congo, 2023). A obra reflete sobre a ambiguidade entre estas duas realidades — uma de evasão, outra de crueza — e sobre a fragilidade e efemeridade com que ambas coexistem. "Angel Wings" propõe um olhar sobre o paradoxo do presente, onde o íntimo e o coletivo se cruzam num equilíbrio instável, que é ele mesmo também inevitável.

Whether in the Democratic Republic of Congo or in her more intimate surroundings in Portugal, Maria questions that same apprehended reality or how society wants to define it, politically and socially. Maria's visual expression reflects her spontaneous and sensory character on perceiving authentic elements and environments, alive and moving, surrounding her.
