The "Attempt to identify" is an attempt to interpret tragic history of the family.

On the tambours there are portraits of women, symbolizing the inheritance of emotions in the female line. Strong war experience, associated with constant fear and witnessing murders on family members, evoke traumatic memories passed down from generation to generation. These memories are rooted in war-free generations, often unconsciously, manifesting themselves, for example, with migraines or a sense of fear in specific situations. I devote a series of images to my tragically deceased great-grandmother, whose fear at the moment of death impressed the emotions of future generations.

Among the embroidered portraits, I try to find her as a person I did not have a chance to meet, but also to identify myself. An "attempt to identify" is the search for an answer about one's own identity, which is built on a basement, not necessarily made by our hands.
