SKIN MARKS

SKIN MARKS

Building a nest in a foreign land is uncomfortable. The feeling of people talking in a language you don’t speak is uncomfortable. The silence in your room after a call ends is uncomfortable. Discomfort is universal. By compressing our skin, we feel uncomfortable. Only with time, the sensation fades as our body adopt to the environment. Detaching from the compression, leaves our body with marks. To build a nest and leave but the memory of the nest stays with you.
