Everlasting Vestige

2023

Installation view, Art Lofts Gallery


This is a visual narrative wherein I submerged myself in a haunting flow of red ink, an allegory for the indelible mark of  trauma that had left on my mind as a sexual assault survivor. Attempting to wash it from my body forms shock and anxiety, leading to frustration and eventually becoming exhausting and accepting the fact that I would not be able to wash it away ever. This attempt makes a bridge between me and the viewer, highlighting the intertwining of human experience and reminding them of a moment in their own life when they had the same endless effort.
