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!

Annoying!

I wanted to leave a response to the comment made on my last entry, but blogger refuses to let me! What?! So I can't respond to comments on my own blog? Ridiculous! Anyway, I mostly wanted to say thanks for leaving a comment, and that I agree that death can really have a twofold way of working as a "skin" for us: Either release us from all responsibility (There is no use in living if we are all going to die) or give us the courage and propell us forward past our fears (since we are going to die, none of our fears really will matter in the end, so we might as well go for it). I guess it is in the mindset towards death that we choose (consiously or subconsciously) I guess =).
