An installation of veiled testimonies from 35 Chinese women reflecting on the trauma of absent sex education. Layered vellum, fragmented translation, and dual-channel audio create a space where meaning flickers between presence and loss. Touch becomes a method of access—and a metaphor for the struggle to voice what society renders unspeakable.
