The art of Ouhi Cha is of great seductive power and animates anyone who engages in its close observation to far-reaching speculations. The artist lures the viewer onto unsecured terrain and then leaves him to the thoughts and sensations triggered by her work. In doing so, she gives them at least two points of reference or starting points for their associations. It would be too much to speak of circles of motifs, but they remain remarkable in any case. They can be described as follows: firstly, there is the associative sequence of elements associated with the ideas of ship, sail, Odysseus: Ship, sails, Odysseus, wandering, being on the road. Secondly, we notice the moments of writing, communication, language, conversation. All speaking opens up a spiritual space and often connects very distant things with each other, even if it ends in silence. For both approaches, from which something like an interpretation of the pictorial objects of the Ouhi Cha, covered by indecipherable sign writing, can be attempted, we can cite both hidden and open clues. We think we can discover such hidden clues in the material used. Doesn't the sailcloth secretly speak of the reminiscence of its former function, in which it served as a sail, caught the wind and propelled a ship? Doesn't every line drawn with black paint on a white background indicate a path? Don't the individual pictorial objects - lined up on the wall to form larger units - join together like words to form whole sentences? With the exhibition Re-birth, Ouhi Cha shows that it is precisely in the field of communication, i.e. signs, that constant change, in the sense of renewal, occurs and thus helps to determine the course of life.
