The image featured above shows the piece titled: The Frustration of the Growing Girl. The large soft sculpture is quilted and constructed into a cone shaped monument about four feet tall and created entirely out of deep blue cyanotypes. The images on the cyanotypes are old family pictures with the figures partaking in jewish ceremonies. The cyanotypes stretch past the base of the cone and climb up the wall. Around the base of the cone there are a series of collaged Polaroid images. The Polaroids show signs of physically deconstructing the images and working back into them using materials such as thread, printed images, cutout and human hair.

A cartoonish creature dressed in pink, jester-like clothes is in the middle of the screen. She has a child-friendly appearance that popular mascot characters would have such as Mickey Mouse. She is smiling as she looks slightly to the left, listening to a person that is not shown within this particular scene.Her arm is bent slightly, as if she was in the middle of reaching something with her white, mittened hand above her head and out of frame towards the top right of the screen. The background of the image is a yellow, monochromatic painting that shows the top left half of a fridge on the right side of the frame. There is a blurry filter over the image that makes it appear as if is it was recorded on an old VHS tape.
