Her body-centered faivā (performance practice) emerges from Tongan philosophies of relational space and time, integrating ancient and everyday temporal practice to illustrate the impact of environmental and social crisis in Oceania. Through her engagement with the sociopolitical landscape of Australia, spotlighting issues related to race, class, and the female body politic, she seeks to bring minority community voices and experiences into the foreground.

Her practice is multidisciplinary, including painting, early photographic techniques, and sculpture, and her research examines the historical practice of blackbirding, a euphemism for the Pacific slave trade, in which over sixty thousand Islanders were taken to work on Australian sugarcane plantations between 1847 and 1903. This labor trade has a contemporary legacy, continuing to impact those who trace their roots to Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia through the South Sea Islander and other slave diasporas. Togo-Brisby, whose great-great-grandparents were taken from a beach in Vanuatu in 1899 and put to work as house slaves for the Sydney-based Wunderlich family, is one of the few Pacific artists exploring cultural memory and shared histories of plantation colonization and displacement across the Pacific.
