The performance relates healing and wound using pain scale. Material characteristics of paper, water and stone meet with action, which creates a metaphor. This, at the same time questions whether pain can be assessed.

Die Performance setzt die Themen „Heilung“ und „Wunde“ mit einer Schmerzskala in Beziehung. Materialeigenschaften von Papier, Wasser und Stein treffen auf eine Handlung, die eine Metapher schafft. Diese stellt zugleich die Frage nach der Bewertbarkeit von Schmerz.

이 퍼포먼스는 통증 평가 척도 - Pain scale 와 함께 치유와 상처의 관계성을 다룬다. 종이, 물, 돌의 소재 특성이 행위와 만나 은유적 의미가 생성된다.
동시에 통증을 척도라는 기준을 통해 설명 가능한지에 대한 질문을 던진다.
