Trace is an installation artwork that captures the ephemeral nature of human experience and identity. From the moment we are born, our experiences and emotions shape who we are, yet these moments gradually fade over time. This installation seeks to preserve these traces by embedding the experiences of people from diverse backgrounds—different countries, genders, and families—into its structure. As viewers move through the installation, their shadows are cast onto the texts, intertwining their presence with the stories of others. In that moment, the fusion of past experiences, textual memories, and the viewer's shadow generates a new trace, highlighting the interconnectedness and transient nature of human existence.
