See You In My Dreams – How Can I Be A Woman Today, 2023

“See You in My Dreams - How Can I Be a Woman Today” is a semi-fictive work that interrogates how travel has been an act of liberation and emancipation in the life of Erna Burkhard, the artist’s deceased grandmother. Erna, who grew up in southern Germany during the second world war and then shortly after emigrated to the Swiss countryside, soon started traveling to the South by car, with her six children, a big tent in the trunk and her husband left at home.

Through lucid dreaming, the artist tried to reconnect with her grandmother, or what remains of her in her subconscious, in search for answers to questions she’d never asked.
The final work consists of handwritten letters, the artist addressed to her grandmother, photos from the family archive as well as three photographs taken by the artist, which were inspired by the dreams she had about her grandmother.
