Wagon, adhesive plaster. 25.5 x 3.1 x 4.3 meters. Mixed media. 2025.
The artwork is a passenger wagon, a metaphor for human life as movement through time and space. The surface of the wagon is dotted with traces of damage, reminiscent of the pain, traumas, and tragedies that a person encounters while living their life.
The artist carefully patches each damage with a simple everyday first-aid item—an adhesive plaster. This action symbolizes the attempt to soothe the pain and mend the wounds on the body of one’s own history. The plaster only partially conceals the traces, emphasizing that traumas do not disappear without a trace, but can be healed by time and care.
The installation invites the viewer to reflect on how even the deepest wounds heal over time, the pain subsides and recedes into the past, opening the way for a person to a new life.
