SKIN TAGS

Exhibition at Molt Berlin, 2023

A series of bio-textiles made from algae-based polymers, representing fossilized skins of human memory. These works explore how stories, beliefs, and past experiences form layers—like skin—that continue to shape the body in the present. This metaphor express the connection between body and spirit, and how through craft, matter can be a channel of change and acceptance. Resilience becomes possible by exposing oneself and revealing the skin with its marks as a transformative gesture.
