This work presents a gallery of human skins displayed in frames. The skins are pinned like animal hides or butterflies, pinned delicately on a white background. Each frame features a button and an embedded speaker, when the button is pressed, the scar's owner tells the story of how they received the scar and their relationship with the scar itself.

Every skin is a life cast of a real person the stories are also real. The skins are made of silicone to somewhat emulate human skin's texture. Audience members are allowed to touch the scars as there is no glass in the frames, run their fingers along them and feel their complexity, texture, and detail. the skins will be painted semi-realistically with a focus on emphasizing the scars rather than the skin they are on.

The audio volume will be fairly low so they don't bleed over one another and so they encourage the viewer to get very close to the work. This will further encourage audience members to touch the piece and it will create a very personal experience with each individual scar.

Scars are individual works of art, and each is a physical memory imprinted on the body. These memories can be positive or negative, scars are not always consensual, we don't choose our scars the way we choose tattoos or any other body art. Every scar has a story, the same way all great paintings have a story. When we separate the scar from the face of the host it's as if the scar tells the story, we can focus on the physicality and physical impact of that story. This separation is going to be strengthened by the presentation of the skins, laying them flat eliminates the focus on body shape, or other parts of the individual that are not relevant, we are also accustomed to viewing paintings as flat and vertically displayed. When animal hides are displayed the focus is not on the form of the animal, but rather entirely on its markings and texture. We treat human bodies with what one could consider being much more respect than animals, as seeing human flesh displayed this way would be unusual, however, I think that we are just as equally fascinating as animals.
