Painful experiences are remembered and carried in the body. Touch Our Scars invites visitors to encounter trauma through material contact: to approach, observe, linger, withdraw or touch woven surfaces and negotiate with what they embody.

The work includes two interactive textiles informed by collective trauma reports and nine touchable pieces created from individual sensations. Sharp and rigid materials are woven into traditional textile structures, translating pain into tactile form.

Rather than narrating how trauma occurred, the installation creates a space where it can be felt through the body, negotiated without language and slowly transformed through embodied engagement.
