Ma unfolds as a body of work, a palimpsest of Laufer's four-year-old daughter's drawings. Through an elaborate process, Laufer deliberately decelerates image-making, transforming swift gestures into intricate renditions. The series explores the visual language of infancy, mapping the transition from abstraction to figurative expression. Beyond artistic evolution, Ma scrutinizes the symbiotic mother-child relationship, investigating possibilities, boundaries, and the dynamics of inspiration and relationships in terms of proximity and distance.

Located in a vocational school in Berlin, this floor piece captures the transitory presence of students by regularly marking the random arrangement of chairs in the lounge area at the end of the day. Over time, this has evolved into a multilayered line pattern that was eventually transformed into a non-sequential flat image, recording movement and time, absence, and presence.
