WOUND

WOUND

The wound serves as a powerful allegory for society and its collective fears. In this metaphor, society's wounds represent the deep-seated anxieties and traumas that shape its identity. While there is a genuine desire to heal and overcome these wounds, they are paradoxically kept fresh and open, serving as a source of identity and common experience.

People often find comfort and solidarity in the familiarity of shared fears, and this perpetuates a cycle where society clings to its wounds, fearing the loss of a unifying element that defines them. The struggle between the yearning for healing and the preservation of these wounds encapsulates the complex relationship between society and its fears. In this context, wounds are not just societal but deeply personal, for when everyone holds their wounds open, these individual pains merge into a shared narrative that binds them together.

Nuanced throughout my work both visually and metaphysically, I ustilize the evolving discs of lines, spirals, and colors as a consistent visual and thematic element throughout my work.
