Full of Hope (from the series About Her)
<p>At home the woman stood at the hall mirror and looked herself in the eye—not to see anything special but as a way of thinking about herself calmly. She spoke out loud: “I don’t care what you people think. The more you have to say about me, the freer I will be of you. Sometimes I have the impression that the moment we discover something new about a person it stops being true.”</p> <p>—Peter Handke, The Left-Handed Woman (1976),<br>quoted by Teresa Gierzyńska in a 2017 exhibition of her work</p>
