THE WAR WE CARRY

THE WAR WE CARRY

A white flag woven from the language of conflict.

At first glance, the object appears peaceful. Upon closer inspection, its surface reveals phrases of accusation, dismissal, judgment, and emotional defence.

The work considers how conflict survives not only through actions but through words: spoken, remembered, repeated, and internalized.

The flag becomes a paradox — a symbol of peace constructed from the very language that makes peace difficult to achieve.

Some wars take place between nations.

Others are carried quietly within us.
