Myriam Borst's work is inspired by the idea of finding your origin or roots. You can investigate this in different ways, such as tracing the family lines, i.e. tracing your ancestors who have gone before you.

Then, assuming one can experience or sense what is stored in the unconscious, that what has happened or remained hidden for up to at least 7 generations back can still influence one's (re)actions , moods and life in this moment, both positively or negatively.

Myriam Borst uses different "mediums" to come closer to the subject.
