"Ramona Raus visually actualizes the feelings that possess her; these are stories about pleasure and about the wonderful reality. Everything becomes a matter of structure. The tactile stillness is due to rules that cannot be changed, that are certain. And things that represent an abstract analogy talk about intimacy, just for this sort of tactile ideal. Ramona Raus investigates feminity and beauty , a melange between a vegetable imaginary and a classical garden, where fragments have a dreamlike identity."
