Eva Paulin strives to overcome the narrowness created by describing or naming an object or a sensation. She looks at something until the external picture and her name soften and through her weaving tissue it reveals the view of other facets or of nothingness. In her directorial work, she dissolves the literary requirement until life penetrates that can affect the viewer.
