Scars of our scars

This is a non-interactive sound and sculpture installation that seeks to extend the fleeting moment when individual scars transform into collective ones, capturing the profound empathy and goosebumps of shared vulnerability. Drawing from personal therapy experiences, translucent silicone sheets—UV-printed with merged scar imagery and pierced by thin acupuncture needles—float suspended in space, evoking the stinging warmth of needle connections. Looping audio, derived from spectrograms of scars, blends discordant stings into harmonious hums, immersing viewers passively in that indescribable second of fusion. Through this multi-sensory archive, the work reframes pain as a bridge to universal resilience, inviting quiet reflection on how scars unite us.
