It translates into a tactile visual expression of the sounds of violence, such as airstrikes or explosions, that ripple through the land—how they shatter it, mingle with fragments of nature and human life, and leave behind traces. The land becomes a silent witness, absorbing the trauma and carrying the memory of displaced individuals and detritus left behind by the civil war. The work reflects on the echoes of wounds that continue to linger in the landscape and how it becomes a physical archive of atrocities inflicted through decades of military conflicts.
