Soil for My Soul

Hold my hand,
the wind whispers
I will kiss the wounds
on your soul,
on your skin
the dress of your spirit.

Breathe in,
breathe out
you are still here
do not listen to them
Depression
is the wound
that isn’t healed yet.

Look inside,
drop some tears on your past.
travel back
to heal the present.
go visit
without the baggage of fear.
travel to that day
where you were hurt.

The soul
on your skin
is your wisdom,
is your happiness
Take from that day
the impermanence
of anything that will happen after,
and come back
without carrying the past.

Throw away the pills.
They were good for a moment
to keep you asleep,
to help you stay
in the shell of ice; it is freezing.

Wake up.

I have a warm cup
of tea with rose leaves,
a few drops of tears
of love and care
that I give back
to you, my love,
my second self.

“Imprints on My Soul" is not merely a recount of a past injury but a profound commentary
on the often overlooked connection between body and soul. It challenges the viewer to
consider how physical marks are a testament to our resilience and survival, and how they
often carry the weight of unaddressed emotional and psychological traumas that needs to
be acknowledged, respected, accepted and healed.

The photographic series “Imprints on My Soul" captures the journey of healing and self-
discovery through the lens of a physical scar. The black and white photographs focus on a
scar on my right leg, a permanent reminder of a traumatic snowboard accident I
experienced at the age of 15. This series reflects not only the physical healing but also the
deep, often invisible, emotional scars that accompany such events and have a direct effect
on the later conditions of our mind. The photographs are an intimate exploration of these scars, both seen and unseen.
