Throwing porcelain dishes against the wall (activity stereotypically associated with female moods) that don’t break is a negation of the laws of physics. Strong, irritating sound of hit and the collapse of the intact object intensifies the sense of powerlessness and anger. Life experiences arm us with powerful internal strength necessary for survival. Paradoxically, with the passage with time it is the strenght that becomes the weight and creates the armor that makes the woman invisible. A reflection on the desire to be weak, the need to confront strategies that have been chosen in the past and that don’t work today.

For a child of adult maturity, reliable intuition and imaginary supernatural powers, the view of the family table and the arrangement of objects on it becomes an invaluable source of knowledge. Traces left on a white tablecloth provide information that is a record of events taking place in its absence. It is knowledge that hurts and at the same time gives relief, although it changes nothing. It is a form of addiction.
Petticoats, a kind of personal underwear, having close contact with the body, invisible to others, were sewn from old tablecloths. Placed again on the table, they perform the function of covering and reflect the desire to be nearby, control and take responsibility. Petticoats are sewn to the height of a child, so they are too small to be worn by a mature woman.

Walking on cracked ground, tying selected pieces of soil to the soles of feet with a string, and traversing a certain section of the road. The process of disintegration of clay and repeated attempts at walking is accompanied by a sound borrowed from home space.

Fragments of a cracked soil crust, slightly lifted above it's surface, appear as levitating. Those fragments symbolize process of reclaiming clay excavation, which should happen in a name of balance.
