Reflecting on the scars on my body, I recalled past events and pondered the uncertainty of what kind of scars would be left on me. Even the scars that are close to me seemed to have gaps. Curious about scars, I began interviewing long-lost friends, asking them about unexpected stories of scars that stayed with them for a while. After hearing their stories, I asked them to retell the incidents in the third person.

During the interviews, I felt a sense of intimacy in knowing someone’s scar stories, which created a connection between us in that moment. At the same time, I understood that this connection might only exist in the present moment—perhaps we would forget someday, or maybe we would still remember, much like the scars on our bodies.

The final form of the artwork is presented as a play reading. Unlike traditional play readings where actors perform with scripts in hand, in this performance, the audience also receives scripts. Additionally, there are many improvisational segments intertwined with the planned scenes. These improvisations involve dialogue among the space, the audience, the performers, and the spontaneity of the moment, engaging with the envisioned script and the serendipitous events. Through the script, the space, observations of each individual in the present moment, and the sharing of the work on stage with its spontaneous questions and events, I aim to respond to the connections and gaps I attempt to portray and convey.
