[Memory] is [...] a pervasive conceptual trope across all of Saar's creative endeavors. [...] In Keep for Old Memoirs, House of Ancient Memory, and The Long Memory, Saar invokes the power and centrality of memory in her work's conception. Indeed, the act of bearing witness--of remembering--is a strategic orienting tactic in Black feminist thought, cultural history, and politics, and Saar elaborates in haunting artworks such as Memory Window for Anastacia, and in her poem, 'My Secret Heart.'" (Quoted from Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer, edited by Diana Seave Greenwald, Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2023, pages 37-38.)
