Her work has been exhibited widely in her home country, Denmark, Korea and in the US. Ponce’s inspiration comes from a variety of sources; ranging from repression, anxiety, anger, love, admiration and contemplation. She uses metaphoric language to convey the complexity of the subject matter, something explicitness cannot convey. Her work gravitates from the Poetic to the Political maintaining a love for audio and crafted imagery.
