This could be considered a collage of all that she has done and what has inspired her. It is a reminder of time and of childhood games in the bathtub, but at the same time, it is reminiscent of sadness in her life. Kettenman also suggests that she cannot be considered as a Surrealist because she does not detach completely from reality. Included in the artwork are at least twelve elements from her other works.
