I traveled to Poland on a whim last February. I was completing an artist residency in The Hague, The Netherlands when I found a cheap flight to Warsaw, and said "why not?". From Warsaw, I realized that I had to go to Krakow to pay my respects to a vital, though morose, part of history. This piece is based on a photograph that I took in Auschwitz. The panel that accompanies this room reads as follows: The washroom where women stripped before execution, then they were led in twos to (the) yard and shot at the "death wall".
