What some people are suffering from people these days is totally invisible to others and suppressed by some turmoil within themselves, so this produces continuous pain and distress without being relieved. Moreover society is developing an environment where people who are suffering from stress and anxiety are not helped to heal.
This project performs the whole process of curing wounded people on the beach. It’s importance is that the outputs as portraits, could share the process with “Others” throughout the exhibition and recover homogeneity and understanding.
