This work explores memory and intimacy as forces that inscribe themselves onto the body. Countless relationships have left indelible marks on me - traces that linger beneath the surface of the skin. I try to wash them away, yet within the water I only continue to sink, as if pulled down by an invisible weight, caught between release and suffocation.
Here, water becomes a metaphor for intimacy itself: it cleanses and renews, yet at the same time it drowns and erases. Its touch is both gentle and violent, promising relief while threatening disappearance.
The work situates the body in a state of ambivalence, suspended between healing and harm. It asks how we carry others within us, and whether immersion in memory is an act of healing or of loss.


"Life fucks me and I let out a perfect moan.“
