Statement
In the Polish city of Ołdrzychowice Kłodzkie, the birthplace of the artist's ancestors, Ursula retraces the path taken by her family during the war. An attempt to create emotional bonds and reconstruct memory in a non-linear way, in a place of strangeness, non-belonging, reunion and surrender, the artist's body is amalgamated in this “place of origin”.
