If the navel is the first scar of human life, it can also be said that human beings originated from a scar. But the actual social environment usually requires individuals to define the boundary between themselves and others, so I use scars as the expression intention to explore the relationship between them. By simulating the texture similar to the skin to feel the sense of alienation when the scar is just formed and the emotion brought by the contact of the second layer of skin.

Human complex way of thinking will always cause some disputes, but with the continuous superposition of personal experience and perception, people can better accept the identity of natural attributes. I combine scar data and pictures with materials to establish a series of scar archive, like fingerprints, as a possibility to record human natural attributes in the future.


如果说肚脐是人类生命的第一道伤疤,那么也可以说人类起源于一道疤痕。但实际的社会环境通常要求个人界定自己与他人之间的界限,所以我以疤痕为表现意向来探索身体与空间之间的关系。通过模拟与皮肤相似的纹理,感受疤痕形成时的疏离感(陌生感)也感受第二层皮肤接触时带来的情感。

人类复杂的思维方式总会引起一些争议,但是随着个人体验与感知的不断叠加,能让人更好接受自然属性的身份。我将伤疤数据图片与材料相结合建立了一系列的伤疤档案,如同指纹,作为记录未来人类自然属性方式的一种可能性。
