Featuring oils on canvas and linen from her exhibition at Berggruen Gallery, San Francisco, in summer2025, alongside other works made between 1994 and 2025, the book showcases a world where time is suspended and people, objects and places flicker with restless vivacity.

Along with a foreword by an established art-world professional, the series features specially commissioned essays and interviews with the artist by leading writers, art historians and curators, offering in-depth insight.
