The scars that write us

'The scars that write us' adopts the keloid scar as its
reference and offers a narrative on wounds and scars,
and those that bear them.

Entering into a dark, quietened space, a visitor first
perceives rather than sees the work directly, evoking
a sense of anticipation, curiosity and uncertainty for
what lies ahead, obscured.

The work unfolds in three types of spatial experiences:
near, far and wide. The sense of proximity – or distance
– alludes to the complex relationships between
the audience, the person who bears the scar and
the stories behind each wound. The installation
also endeavours to provide a space to consider the
unregistered contemplations for those who live with
the ordeal of scars – the physical, and otherwise.

'The scars that write us' is dedicated to wounds, scars,
markings, traumas of all kinds. It is an installation
that speaks of the most personal of experiences that
every person holds.
