She is intrigued by the shifting nature of perspective, and explores in her writing the intersections between public and private spaces. An ongoing interest concerns the tensions between the landscapes of Trinidad and Canada. Recently, her focus has moved away from the experience of dislocation to a closer, more personal apprehension of wild spaces. Her fiction has explored questions of desire and identity, and the relation of these to belonging and family. Mootoo understands that identity, like perspective, is inevitably shifting and multi-faceted. In her most recent visual work she seeks to explore these issues through the delineation of movement, and of reflection.
