Katarzyna Szeszycka (Polish, b. 1983, Goleniów, Poland) - Untitled, 2012

The first one always makes me think of that one Pablo Neruda sonnet:

Out of sheer taciturnity the ceiling listens
to the fall of the ancient leafless rain,
to feathers, to whatever the night imprisioned;
so I wait for you like a lonely house
till you will see me again and live in me.
Till then my windows ache.

Pieter Bruegel I - To run one’s head against a brick wall

Crygel ben ick, en van sinnen stuer,
dus loop ick met den hooffde tegen den muer.

I am touchy and out of my senses bull-headed,
so I bang my head against a brick wall.
