During this five-hour performance, Suryodarmo sews black pieces of clothing, counts and marks traces on the wall, repeatedly saying "I am sorry." In this performance, the act of sewing and her body movements have an allegorical meaning of collecting debris of scattered memories and feelings. This indicates the connection between the past and the present on a personal level as well as that same connection in the mystic space formed around her on a social level, suggesting humans' relationship with history.
