The image presents an interior with white walls and a gray terrazzo floor. On the wall on the right there are two white, closed doors. on the left hand side is a window. Towards the middle of the image, and room, are four objects. Starting from the left, on the wall next to the set of doors, in the distance, is a small box covered in a dark red, metallic festive garland. Right about above it, and crossing the room in half, facing the camera, is a white rippled curtain. A arch-like shape has been cut out in the curtain, making it possible to pass through. The arch is not in the middle of the square-shaped curtain, but a bit to the left of it, asymmetrically. In front of the curtain, diagonally cutting through the space and resting with its red, boxy arrowhead on the floor is a giant, wooden cupid's arrow. It has a light colored wood shaft and the feathers are a white wooden cut-out. Above the arrow, a bit to the right and overlapping the window, is a stained glass in the shape and colors of a dart board - beige, black, red and green.

The tornado over the chamomile box house is a mobile with spinning objects from my garage. You could say that a storm is a permanent state, but often invisible. I am interested in movements that cannot be seen. The movement of particles when you move or the passage of time – but also things and phenomena that we notice from a certain perspective because their reference point has changed.
