At the exhibition "Imageries in Blanks", Nõmm is reminiscent of Hotlips in Maardu, the largest erotic shop in the Baltics, which is the only place associated with Maardu in certain districts. Although Maardu's identity is quite confusing to the rest of the Estonian population, the erotic shop stands out as a clear sign.

Sarah Nõmme's work is like a ghostly trail of Hotlips. The store, located on the Vana-Narva highway in the middle of the industrial landscape, is a standard of anonymity and futility with all its social taboos. On the one hand, the seemingly terrible location expresses the artificiality of lust, sexuality and gender identity in today's society. The Hotlips store is in the middle of large truck parks and oil tanks, but when you enter it you will find that there is a store with a characteristic atmosphere that is no different from other places oriented towards a consumer society.

On the other hand, all kinds of empty spaces and wastelands are eternal refuge for society, where it is easy to be, regardless of social, gender or sexual identity or hybridity - no one asks questions.
