SCAR
SCAR
Some objects are born perfect.
Others become meaningful only after time has passed through them.
SCAR was born from this idea.
The skull, a universal symbol of the fleeting nature of existence, bears a fracture deliberately left visible and held together with metal staples. This is no repair, nor an attempt to restore the work to its original state. Instead, it makes the mark of time permanent, transforming it into an integral part of its identity.
Every scar holds a story.
Every fracture tells of something that endured.
In an age that seeks to conceal every imperfection, SCAR chooses to preserve it. Because what survives never returns unchanged: it shifts, transforms and continues to exist, carrying the memory of its journey.
Like every DECEM relic, SCAR celebrates not death, but time.
