Kristina uses her personal experiences as material for analyses of universal states. Although she doesn‘t use traditional archetypal imagery, an analogous result is achieved – it invokes collective unconscious. By depersonalizing, levelling, fragmenting the characters she refines a state, an experience, a psychological situation as such and turns it / them into the main character. Memory becomes a significant thematic axis – the power of fuzzy remembrances to influence the present and the future1of 36
