"The female body as the 'scene of the crime', hys.te.ri.a reflects on sexuality as it centers specifically and historically on women, in shifting conversations within artistic, religious, medical or socio-political contexts. ​ The artist here openly informs her work through her background in psychoanalysis, cross-examining perspectives while raising questions about our social constructs and the role that sexuality, in the Freudian sense, as a source of attraction, may play in times of crisis.  ​ Hys.te.ri.a is perhaps to date, the work that is most overtly influenced by Gambis' parallel clinical research in psychology." ​
