"Verinnerung may be related to the ability to confront one's own memory in writing. Because memory is full of fantasies about who we were and who we have become it works as a basis for our contemporary perception of self and world. Thus, opening one's writing to alternative narratives and images also means work on ones perception of Jiddishkeit and self in relation to the outside world."

"Verinnerung is the tension between the perception of reality and reality itself. Which is unimaginable and is flexible and chewy like gum and loses shape and takes shape and is swallowed for each. My attempt to capture memory and to know it fades as soon as I hold it and becomes a desert sand."
