Mapping Scars: Traces of Healing is born from the aftermath of devastation—a reckoning with trauma so deep, it split the self apart. This exhibition does not soften the edges of that reality. It is rooted in a moment of profound rupture, when life nearly ended. What followed was not immediate healing, but a slow, uncertain return. A crawling back through memory, through silence, through the unbearable weight of what remained.
These works are not metaphors. They are testaments. Each one bears the imprint of pain that was lived, not imagined—pain that tore through the body, the spirit, and the mind. But in that tearing, something unexpected happened: the beginning of a map. A way through. Not away from the trauma, but into its depths, to understand it, to name it, and to survive it.
​
Faith, hope, and love are not presented here as comforts—they are lifelines. Fragile, hard-won, and at times nearly​
invisible, but always present. They are what kept the artist tethered to this world, when everything else had fallen away. Through them, and through the courage to face the darkest truths, the work begins to shift—from raw survival to something more. A recognition. A rebuilding. A reaching out.
Mapping Scars is not a narrative of resolution. There is no neat ending here. But there is transformation. There is beauty carved from anguish, and grace held in the tension of what can never be fully repaired. These pieces hold space for the unspoken, the unbearable, and the sacred. They are offerings to anyone who has stood at the edge and found, somehow, the strength to step back.
