GUTSTRING SHOWCASE - Xixi Xu

I keep trying to get rid of it.

The shape, the memory,

the weight of something that used to be clear.

I cover it, scratch it out,

bury it under layers.

But it doesn’t go away.

It comes back as fragments,

as stains,

as something that presses from underneath.

I don’t think these are images anymore.

They feel more like traces of a body

that refuses to leave.

Not visible, not gone,just constantly returning.
