The videos document scraping the soaps in three locations: the bathroom, the kitchen and the laundry room. The selocations are chosen for the irfamiliarity and simplicity in anyone’s life and their closeness to the tasks often performed thereby the women. In the artist's childhood memory of the 90’s, her Mother used to sit on a tiny stool washing clothes, cleaning vegetables, preparing foods, washing her children. Everything was carried out with her bare hands and no technology needed. Xuan Ha performs one task repeatedly through the entire process until she complete twenty six bars of soap which is also the years of her current age. A silent and manual task comes to be very insightful and noisy; one thought after another, multiplied, occupied, untidy in everynerve. From twenty six backward to zero she scrapeher memories into fragments yet again re-created the mon their own patch work. Inmisery memories are miscoded into un-finished stories in mind. The continuity and the contentina context or a story are in complete.
