Literal interpretations of the work is a philosophy of her art and autobiographic creative interpretations of the unconscious and the soul. Every single word and sign are of discovery, evocative touches the soul and revives the pure emotions experienced. The symbols plotted as the words offer suggestions and allusions drawn from the subconscious, to relate to an inner life full of poetic vibrations. The wires sewn retrace the footsteps of living in a continuous link with the past and the present by letting the "to-be" be indefinite.
