Mit ihren Election Drawings – Kohlezeichnungen, die sie nach der Wahl von Donald Trump zum Präsiden- ten im Jahr 2016 fertigte – kotzt sie sich buch- stäblich die Seele aus. Sie gibt sich nieder- geschlagen, wenn sie in Illinois, einem der US-Staaten, in denen Immigrantenfamilien voneinander getrennt wurden, eine vor Ent- setzen schreiende, in Embryonalhaltung lie- gende Figur malt, die über eine Nabelschnur mit einem versteinerten Mann verbunden ist.

With her Election Drawings - charcoal drawings that she made after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016 - she literally pukes her soul out. She appears downcast when she paints a figure in Illinois, one of the US states where immigrant families have been separated from each other, screaming with release and lying in an embryonic position, connected to a fossilised man by an umbilical cord.Exhibitions
