"Among the strongest memories of her past, she went on, was watching her mother in the kitchen. Agnes had tried revisiting this place in her painting - that blue kitchen of her childhood and adolescence, which was both a physical and an emotional landscape."-Aysegül Savas, White on White
"The cousin was both real and fictional to her - an embodiment of all that Agnes wanted to be, fashioned from the particular details of her cousins tangible self. "We form ourselves through our doubles... We make ghostly twins to carry the weight of our desires."-Aysegül Savas, White on White
"Perhaps she was just old-fashioned, Agnes said, but it seemed to her that severe introspection was a sure way to get lost in the smallest issues, to reduce one's life to a list of grievances. For her daughter, it felt like every conversation, every memory could lead to an injustice that needs talking through."-Aysegül Savas, White on White
