For the video work Resonance, the artist was inspired by the following lines of poetry by T.S. Eliot:

We shall not cease from exploring
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know that place for the first time
From: Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot (1943)

The work follows the artist as an explorer. We follow the footsteps of the artist in the surrounding landscape and are transported to a forest in the twilight full of fleeting shadows of bats flying by. In her quest, the artist opens a hatch to an animal kingdom that normally remains closed to us. Ambiguous sounds accompany the spherical images; and bang, thunder, the abrasion of metals. No beautiful or romantic picture is painted here, there is also another side to everything. Just like that applies to life, in which nothing is unambiguous
