Ornaments of parents, grandparents, decorating plaster and chemicals to illustrate the ambiguity of responsibility for our own creations, for care, self-determination and filial influence. You don’t pick your parents, you don’t choose how they treat you, but you accept it as your own, it’s your life go and live it. In this life, according to Camus “there is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide”. The mirror mirrors all our desperations on this point, the magnified pills full of the chemical that killed Susan Robinson sing of melancholy and sorrow, but also freedom. For a mother this marked the end. For a son, it forced a new start.
