 In an interview Ackermann was asked about her choice to move to New York and how it has influenced her work to which her response was, 
"It gave me possibilities that I had to choose from and then learn to narrow… narrow things down to their bare existences to find out the reason to make something where everything is already made or readymade.I am an optimist always full of hope that I find my way that is only my way 
that is my work.
