This work emerged from my experience of an interaction that left a wound within me. For a long time, I perceived it as damage and a loss of wholeness - an experience I wanted to distance myself from.
Through the process of exploration, my perception changed. The wound came to represent not only the consequence of interaction, but also a point of awareness through which I could better understand my own boundaries and discover a source of inner strength.
In this work, I explore interaction as a process that leaves a trace, transforms our inner state, and influences the direction of our movement. What was initially perceived as damage can become the foundation for transformation.
