At one point in life or another, and for a myriad of reasons, we have all felt vulnerable. The feeling may manifest itself in our bodies and thoughts in different ways and we have our own ways of reacting to it. Or not reacting. I think one way of expressing this vulnerability is that it may feel like you stand before something or someone without any protection, almost like being without skin. And that we can feel the need for some kind of extra skin to wrap around us for warmth, comfort, protection, support...

If you were to make such a symbolic skin - what would it look like?

This blog is dedicated to my project Symbolic Skin. Here, I will present contributions to the project, blog abot it's process and my thoughts around it's theme. Fuller information can be found on the pages above. Feel welcome to join in, read, comment and discuss!

beginnings

I am so pleased to be able to write that the first persons have now joined this project! I am looking forward to seeing their wonderful skins and read their stories if they choose to enclose stories. I really do think this project has the capability of bringing many people together and what is going on now is the beginning of this. I am so happy and excited!

My journey in this project now is to meet and talk to as many people as possible, seeing if they whish, or know somebody who would like to take part. I have also started having and sharing thoughts about how to identify oneself, how to relate to vulnerability and strength, what those things are...

An interesting journey indeed - which you are very much welcome to join if you'd like!
