τραύμα / wound

"The scar is not just a mark of where we were hurt; it is a map of how we survived. But when the wound echoes, it demands a reckoning with what we continue to lose."

The earth does not forget; it merely layers.

Wound is an exploration of ecological trauma rendered through the delicate, spectral medium of bound translucent etchings. By utilizing light-permeable surfaces, this artist book mimics the fragility of a healing membrane—thin enough to expose the underlying damage, yet resilient enough to hold it.

Throughout, the stitching serves as the primary structural and conceptual connective tissue throughout the work. These are not merely decorative threads; they are surgical interventions upon the page.

Each page carries the shadow of the one beneath it. To view the book is to see the past and present simultaneously, suggesting that ecological trauma is never truly "behind" us.
