Developing Compassion is a project made of series of performances, installations and photographs, which lasted two years (2006-2008). It represents the artist's way of noting the pain that she has faced with the illness, dying and final passing away of her father. In the first of three performances she symbolically let go of her emotional states, which she has stitched as pain, sadness and fear on white pillows. In the second performance she wiped the floor with disinfectant to relive the sterility of the painfully impersonal ambience of hospitals. In the third performance she sang a mourning song which she wrote on the ground using seeds.
