Like the salmon, the artist’s heritage traverses across vast amounts of territory. Having grown up as a mixed-race person knowing all of her grandparents, as well as two great-grandparents; the artist narrates the special bond she has with her late-Great-Grandma Teresa, who she called Oma. Through the discovery of a house robe her Oma had stuffed into a pillow, the artist undergoes an ever-changing reconstruction of the robe as a symbol for the interconnections she has with her Oma that spans across time, memory, and worlds.
