Scars generally carry a rather negative connotation. They are not shown to others, not exhibited in public, and are to be kept quietly hidden away, or measures are taken so that they won’t be seen — they belong to an extremely private realm. I take photographs of such scars, which are so very like a personal secret. Illness, injury, accidents, war. These are all distressing, painful, unhappy experiences that one day, suddenly befall a person…we must all sustain and live with wounds, visible and invisible.
