Skin of skin

At its core is a suitcase tightly wrapped in transparent stretch film — the material commonly used to seal luggage during travel. The wrapping recalls a shed skin, like that of a snake: a layer once necessary for protection, now discarded.

The work speaks about transformation through displacement. Migration here is not represented as movement forward, but as a process of shedding — leaving behind former layers of identity, habits, and attachments. The wrapped suitcase becomes both a body and its residue, while the metal frame outlines a structure that remains after departure.
