Flashback attack.
Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

I got the idea for this piece because there are problems about communication with people. I feel this is always my struggle. So I wanted to do one piece about human beings and their struggle in life with each other. I find being tied together is a very clear idea, because I feel that to survive we’re all tied up. We cannot go in life alone, without people. Because everybody is individual we each have our own idea of something we want to do. But we’re together. So we become each other’s cage. We struggle because everybody wants to feel freedom. We don’t touch, and this helps us to be conscious that this relationship connects individuals, but the individuals are independent. We are not a couple, but two separate people. So this piece to me is a symbol of life and human struggle. And why one year’s time? Because then this has real experience of time and life. To do work one week or two weeks, I feel that it may become like just doing a performance. But I do it one year and then the piece becomes art and life—it’s real connection and that has more power. Also a year is a symbol of things happening over and over.

These household gods seem to offer well-being, health and success. But all gods create cults. And al these cults circle back to use, to a dangerous self-worship fed by forces who seek to ensnare us in idolatry.

—A singular woman - TelegraphThe person who thinks seriously about life, Brookner’s books suggest, who proceeds cautiously and conscientiously, will be punished for their virtue, end up alone and dissatisfied, while the person who takes a wholly unreflecting and rather selfish view of life pays no price for it.

—PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your quest has come to a fork, Pisces. Down one path lies a tumultuousobsession — a compulsive, tormented hunt like Captain Ahab’s pursuit of Moby Dick. In the other direction, a graceful
chase beckons, more in the manner of Sir Galahad’s pure-hearted search for the Holy Grail. Choose one fork and your quarry will be beastly, impossible, and frustrating. If you choose the other fork, your quarry will be magical, earthy, and transformative
