There is no unwounded soul on earth, and there is no therapy that heals everyone. Some wounds lie within us till the end of time. If we can hear the unheard, see the unseen, and remember the forgotten, what's next?
Some wounds can never be sewn draws inspiration from numerous stories, experiences of people around me, and historical events. Throughout human history, there has never been a perfect era, nor has any soul remained unscarred. In recent years, I've seen many wounded individuals and witnessed many others yearning for healing, but there are even more who are unaware of their own afflictions. The answer I've discovered along the way is that humans cannot completely recover from their wounds because we desire trauma, and trauma also desires us. During the process, I've experienced moments of confusion and gradually became numb towards certain traumas. I've also come to realise that blindly embracing positive thinking and the deceptive allure of positive energy cannot heal all wounds. Hence, my approach has been to fairly state what I've observed only and make room for self-interpretation.
“We are bound within our realm, destined to hurt and be hurt, consuming each other to death, until the end of time. Our cries resound in the void of universe’s domain”
As for how one should do after confronting personal traumas and noticing the wounds of others, I leave that exploration to the audience.
