Adopted text on the work: The artist work with raw-sounding terms like trans-generational trauma transmission, displacement of pain, or with elements of experienced loneliness between people. She bases her instalation on the paradox of environment and offered content, contrasts between dark and light, tenderness and cruelty. She intimates the plot line at individual atops - in prison cells and gellery "rooms". She manifests specific images of our existence: she transforms omnipresent laundry as a many-layered symbol of living events into a symbol of life's rigidity, thus into a metaphor for anxiety that stands in the way of joyful experience. She assembles the Grey Room in the silence of stopped time, reminiscences and losses.
