"When I found Malta-based artist Stephanie Sant, it wasn't like a light bulb went off, but like an ember was glowing where everything else on the timeline was trying too hard to be slick." The White Pube
"Throughout the years I've known Stephanie, she has gone from a person very much engrossed in the arts to someone who has become possessed by them. Whether it's with photography, performance or literature, Steph is a person who will do whatever she can to try and realize her vision, and this vision is very exciting.
Since she discovered writing, or since she discovered her writing I have witnessed the growth of a writer who has gone from being enraptured into a daze by her visions to an author who is capable of harnessing that stupor and bending it to suit her somewhat outre yet seamlessly personal vision." Ambrose Galea, writer
