Peeled like a skin from its form, it reveals the memory of every stretch, touch, and exposure.
Its translucent surface holds the sensory traces of its surroundings and echoes how our bodies
carry histories.
In its yielding to pressure and contact, light passes through its fibers; sound softens; traces of touch and time gather on the skin. What once held becomes porous, warmer, quieter, revealing a space of repair where fragility and resilience coexist. Like paper itself, it remains porous—gathered, vulnerable, and still becoming.
Seen from within, the surface becomes a thin, breathing membrane that is patched, torn, and mended.
