The project Circles of Care is about the eternal and invisible gestures of care that women perform for others. One of the works, Circles of Care, consists of 5 images depicting a woman making a bed. From the woman's gestures, one can see the various movements that result in a made bed: they are performed over a longer period of time and are directed toward something, here another person who will lie down in a bed to sleep. This is a poem included in the photobook "An Unfolded Collection" where the series of 5 pictures is called Circles of Care. "She takes out the sheets and pillowcases and lays them on the bed. She takes the bottom sheet and stretches it, smoothes it out, tucking it under the corners. She unfolds the duvet cover and searches for the corners, tucks in the duvet, and shakes it so the corners fall evenly, straight down, together. The same with the pillows. The pillows are put in place at one end, and she pulls the duvet over the whole bed. Stroking her hand over the softness, she smoothes and pulls the corners. In bed, someone else will lie down, rest their cheek against the pillow, and fall asleep. She carries the invisible and eternal gestures of care."
