"In the paintings where it's there—the tenderness—I work for it. I'm not afraid of it. If I could put my bleeding heart in there, I would."

"La Casa Viuda (1992–94) is a very important work because it’s related to forceful displacement. And I think that is the position I assume as an artist—that I don’t have a fixed place, that I’m always being displaced."
-Doris Salcedo
