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!

Number one



Today I am genuinely happy to introduce the very first contribution to this project (my own excepted). A young man at the age of five heard about my project from his mother, and immediately decided to join in and create his own symbolic skin. I am very proud to present an image showing a detail of his work of art. It's constructed by a soft, red piece of cloth with two nature's items attached to it - a tiny cone and a tiny leaf.

    Mamman till den unge gentlemannen och vännen till den fantastiska skaparen av det här projektet har ett hjärta som just växte lite och en hud som liksom öppnade sig lite, för att vara lite mera nära.
