The cross in the middle connects the two very different textiles. Through the subtle bed sheet, the heavy oil paint slowly seeps away, it becomes visible as if through a sieve to a thinner-looking layer of paint on the curtain fabric attached to the back. The several levels hide and show each other depending on the distance of the viewer and light incidence.
It is shown and hidden, veiled, and supplemented until different images are created again and again. Different materials, textiles, and layers metaphorically overlay the diversity and complexity of human experiences.
