As mentioned in the artist's notes, "It is about children’s dreams, runs in the air of the playground then settles down in a room…a solitude. It is also about a person watching children play in a playground (as in the lyrics of the Rolling Stones song "As Tears Go By"), from morning to noon...This was indeed a group work and included the owner of the playground…the blacksmith who made the playground ride, his helper and the children I met in the village who gave me inspiration in thinking about the play in one’s childhood."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ivyma.net/iron_steel/fairytale/index.html|title=A Fairy Tale|website=ivyma.net|access-date=2018-03-21}}</ref> Collaborated with Abdullah Syed (Pakistan), another participant in the workshop, ''Always land'' (2005) is an on-site work using net made with plastic thread and falling leaves.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Transmigration of Materials|last=Ma|first=Ivy|year=2005|location=Hong Kong|pages=21–23}}</ref> left|thumb|382x382px|''Perception of Phenomenal Soundlessness'' (2006) ''Perception of Phenomenal Soundlessness'' (2006) is an on-site work produced outdoors during her residency at the Cable Factory in Helsinki, Finland. Performative acts were carried out while Ma wandered in the frosty landscape. She dragged an empty suitcase with broken wheels to the lakeside, filled it with her own curled up, unclothed body and photographed herself; she gathered tree sticks from grave land and rearranged them on the ice; and she stuffed ice into a man-shaped cloth doll and hanged it on a tree. Images and documentation of the work were presented in the exhibition entitled ''Stained, the eclipsed pattern'' at Uma-g Gallery, Hong Kong in 2006.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ivyma.net/water/soundlessness/|title=Perception of Phenomenal Soundlessness|website=ivyma.net|access-date=2018-03-21}}</ref> thumb|''The Wayward Cloud'' (2006)|235x235px ''The Wayward Cloud'' (2006) follows a similar methodology. Originally an on-site work created when Ma lived in Wan Chai on the Hong Kong Island, It is about the view seen looks back at the seer, an idea already explored in ''Far Away, So Close'' (2003). In the artist's word, "I loved to look from my window and see many old buildings. Then I wanted to search for the view that looked back at my home, so I went to the opposite building, and asked the owner if I could pay her a little bit for permission to go to the top and see back to my home."<ref>{{Cite book|title=Ivy Ma : this room is not still, selected works, 2000-2012|last=Rowley|first=Alison|publisher=Gallery EXIT, MCCM Creations|year=2012|isbn=9789881521705|location=Hong Kong|pages=56–57|oclc=798239314}}</ref> A photograph depicting a naked figure holding a cotton wool cloud on a rooftop and another photograph of the rooftop without the figure taken at the scene were included in the exhibition ''Perhaps, Solitude'' at the studio of the late Jerry Kwan, teacher of Ivy Ma<ref>{{Cite book|title=Ivy Ma : this room is not still, selected works, 2000-2012|publisher=Gallery EXIT, MCCM Creations|year=2012|isbn=9789881521705|location=Hong Kong|pages=89|oclc=798239314}}</ref> in Fotan in 2007.

Ma shifted her focus to people in the exhibition ''Someone'' (2014) at the Goethe-Gallery and Black Box Studio, Hong Kong.

It is the first time Ma has taken current events as the subject. "I am trying to see how a present moment will very soon be a past moment and understand what this means...I'm always fascinated by the distance between the present and the past, as well as how history is archived and presented to us in the now," Ma talked about the works in an interview with the South China Morning Post.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/magazines/48hrs/article/1677944/ivy-ma-gives-portraits-occupy-protesters-historical-context|title=Ivy Ma gives portraits of Occupy protesters historical context|work=South China Morning Post|access-date=2018-03-25|language=en}}</ref> As the title suggests, the series includes 40 black and white mixed-media portraits based on images of protesters Ma taken with a smartphone during the Occupy protest in Hong Kong in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://artradarjournal.com/2015/01/30/ivy-ma-manipulates-history-in-hong-kong-in-pictures/|title=Ivy Ma manipulates history in Hong Kong – in pictures {{!}} Art Radar|website=artradarjournal.com|language=en-GB|access-date=2018-03-25|archive-date=2018-03-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180330212032/http://artradarjournal.com/2015/01/30/ivy-ma-manipulates-history-in-hong-kong-in-pictures/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
