The German philosopher Hannah Arendt describes in her book Vita activa – Vom tätigen Leben (engl. the human condition), "We start something; we strike our thread into a web of relationships. What becomes of it, we never know. The stories emerge virtually alongside our actions, and yet these make up the very center of what is able to remain in the world."
Textiles herein play a core role for the artist. The material connects everyone from birth until death. It shelters them not only from weather, but from being exposed in unwanted situations. The word "shelter" roots in the Old High German word "Skirm," which can be loosely translated to "screen." It describes self-supportive, portable space creating structures which Architect Gottfried Semper fundamentally linked as a characteristic of textiles, clothing and the "carpet wall."
They are information surfaces, image carriers. The works the viewers see are an approach to build different form of screens that reflect our bodily connections, the hand, and body language in a country where the artist lost her words but still tried to put her thread into a web of relationships.
"What shelters did we build to protect ourselves? Which shelters isolate us?"
