"Poza de ruga este lucrarea video in care artista goala - doar partea de sus a corpului este prezentata - isi uneste mainile intr-un gest de rugaciune. Ea depune foarte mult efort in aceasta actiune, unindu-si mainile in incercarea de a-si respecta sarcina cu scrupulozitate. Efectul este usor absurd, pentru ca este clar ca persoana este fortata sa se roage, devenind in aceste circumstante un nonsens.
Imaginea statica, care apare intre cadre, o prezinta pe artista neclintita - asa cum cel mai probabil au dorit cei care au subordonat-o.
Apoi, pe parcurs ce filmul se deruleaza, ne intoarcem la realitatea in care mainile ei atarna pierzandu-si puterea si dezvaluindu-i sanii goi.
Intregul film este in loop, la fel ca si incercarile de subordonare a artistei.
Si ea ramane de nesupus. "

"The Prayer pose is the video piece where the nude artist-the upper part of her body is presented-joins her hands in a gesture of petition. She puts a lot of effort into the action, pushing her hands against one another trying to do her task scrupulously. The effect is slightly absurd, because it is clear that the person is being forced to pray, with in such circumstances becomes nonsensical.
The freeze frame, which appears in shot intervals, presents the artist motionless-the way desired, most probably, by those who subordinate her.
Then, as the film goes on we return to the reality where her hands are hung losing their strength and reveal her naked breasts.
The whole film is repeated and so are the attempts to subordinate the artist.
And she remains indomitable."
