做完手术之后，我觉得那个。。。

伤口那边很疼痛

Translation: After the surgery, I felt that…the wound hurt a lot

它的疼痛是说，感觉上是说，很痠，很痠,

Translation: The pain felt like, like it was aching, really aching,

而且肌肉方面很紧，很紧

Translation: And the muscles were tight, really tight

然后，伤口有一点点的感觉是觉得有一点点刺痛，

一点点，好像有一点针刺，

一点点，不会觉得说很严重的刺痛

Translation: Then, the the wound felt a little prickly,

just a little, like needles prickling,

just a little, a mild prickling

你的痛是感觉说起初你不敢用力摆动你的伤口的地方。经过运动之后，你的肌肉比较松解了，血液循环了，就慢慢觉得疼痛没有那么严重了。就这样。

Translation: The pain (I) felt made (me) afraid of moving the injured region. But after physiotherapy, (my) muscles were more relaxed and as the blood started to circulate, the pain felt less serious. Just like that.

肯定，因为动了手术肯定痛，伤口一定痛。不过你左右两边你动过伤口了之后感觉一点麻麻，一点麻麻。

Translation: Of course, since I went through an operation, the wound would definitely hurt. However, after operations on both (my) left and right knee, they felt a little numb,

just a little numb.

伤口复原了之后就一切就觉得很自在了，

不是觉得很痛，

不觉得很痛。

Translation: After the wound recovers, everything feels normal,

and it does not hurt,

it does not hurt anymore.

Time heals all wounds. The pain lessens, but the scar remains.

This work stems from a single photograph of a surgery scar. Physical damage is applied directly on the print and the process of which is documented. This project seeks to explore the graphical reinterpretation of pain on a photo of a scar that ceases to hurt. The gradual destruction of the print defies the chronological order in which a scar heals.

This series is a retelling of the story of a scar and the visualization of its past sensations. Accompanied by the audio recording of the artist’s father’s recount of the healing process of his wound, the experience of pain suffered through the course is conveyed vocally and visually.
