But we can't recall clearly anymore

Only remember once gazing eagerly, an indescribable wait

Until memories from years ago collapsed

Striking precisely at this moment

Our chests 

 

This installation draws inspiration from the stories of urban orphans and left-behind children, embodying the deep scars of childhood trauma. It serves as both a reminder and a rebellion—urging us not to forget the emotional wounds inflicted upon us by a society that neglects its most vulnerable. The installation stands as a protest against the societal systems that create these orphans of the city, while simultaneously offering a space for self-healing. Through this work, the artist confronts these painful memories, transforming them into a force of resistance and recovery.
