After repair

This piece reflects on the idea that damage does not mark an end, but a transition. What has been altered cannot return to its original state, yet it does not need to. Restoration is not about reversal; it is about continuation. The act of repainting acknoledges loss while refusing stagnation. The surface changes, the texture shifts, and traces of what czame before remain beneath the new layer. What emerge is not replacement but adaptation.The work suggests that repair is less about recovering the past than about accepting transformation. Moving forward does not mean earsing damage. It means allowing it to exist within what comes next.
