9. The Tiny Dress

In my studio I wrote on the tiny dress, which I had brought as a sample. I wrote down the thirty articles of the human rights, for the girls in Sarnath as well as for the girls in Bern. While writing, my thoughts were with them, wishing them a self-determined life, which seemed a distant dream, not a given fact at all.
The result was a small object, on which the sentences wind themselves over the dress like veins in a body. I dipped it into oil, a material that I used in many of the works developed in Varanasi, to associate the object more clearly with the body, with its vulnerability, its nakedness.
