"Palimpsest of Pain" is a deeply evocative brutalist sculpture that speaks to the resilience etched into human experience. Crafted with a rough plaster finish and painted with natural coffee beans, the wall sculpture embodies the rawness of personal scars—both visible and unseen. The layered bandages represent the healing process and the stories that shape our identities.
The 3D art challenges the viewer to confront vulnerability while celebrating the beauty of endurance. "Palimpsest of Pain" is a testament to survival, inviting dialogue about scars not as flaws but as narratives of strength and transformation.
