2 walker frames, 1 steel helmet, 1 plastic helmet, doll, tin can, lacquer
Abandoned wheelchairs and walking frames are strewn throughout the space, decorated with a rag doll or a hat, and testify of a pathetic loneliness and limited self-reliance. In her work, the artist manages to subtly reflect contemporary reality in a socially critical way.
