Scar Musical Notation Book

Scar language is recorded as an archive, which shows the original appearance of traces in the form of musical scores. It is generated by natural language symbols, which are non-traditional musical notation.

The uprooted sod, twisted between broken stones and steel, struggled to survive in the cracks of the city's roads, but could not resist the destruction and damage of artificial construction again. After founding it at one of the construction sites, I recorded its life that was dug up and discarded and its self-redemption process with my camera. Then, I captured many non-human objects injured or abandoned on construction sites, so that they also formed a dialogue with scars.

In the sheet music archive, I use semi-transparent paper to express the interaction and influence of scars with humans, surroundings and non-humans, inspiring people to think about the duality of relationships between them.
