This work was my MFA thesis show from SUNY at Buffalo. It was an installation and site-specific piece. For this work I have chosen a title which was a quote from a book written by a Canadian woman immigrant from a Jewish family from Eastern Europe. She wrote a book in English after dramatical events in her life in order to integrate the experiences and memories from her home country into her new cultural and English speaking environment of adoption.

The work included layered analogue photographical images of my hands superposed over images from a botanical garden, as well as old images of myself and my mother and new images of friends, texts written by myself on pieces of tortilla, color and fabric as well as a sound piece that was an autobiographical account of my experiences with pain.

The work stayed open for the public about three weeks and it was realized in a house from the Polish area of Buffalo.
