The Vessel.   

(completed)

This project is my personal story.

This project grew out of my personal experience and the recurring state that returns before every medical examination.

Several years ago I went through cancer. Although I understand rationally that the danger has passed, my body remains a vessel of memory, still carrying traces of pain and isolation from that time. Before each examination, tension resurfaces like an echo of the past.

The project becomes a visual exploration of bodily memory — how lived experience is stored within us and continues to shape the present.

Through this work I am not trying to erase fear, but to learn how to live with it: to acknowledge its presence without allowing it to govern my life.

Rather than offering resolution, the work remains suspended in an open question: will this fear ever fully disappear?

The project reflects an ongoing process of acceptance and coexistence with memory, recognising that while the past cannot be erased, we retain the ability to choose how to live in the present.
