The installation Ten ways to stop your tears (2021) has a central position in the exhibition. The work consists of 45 painstakingly crafted lead objects, hung on hooks in a steel frame. Some may be reminiscent of fragile drinking vessels from the past, others give associations to body parts or prostheses. All can serve as containers: for wine, water - or tears.
