This fountain explores the cycle of trauma and healing. Trauma often returns, reappearing when we least expect it, but so does the strength to cope and to mend. The structure uses surgical fixators — usually made to hold fractured bones together — as a metaphor for this process. Instead of repairing the body, here they hold the flow of water, symbolising the fragile act of holding ourselves together when something breaks inside us.

The water rises, falls, and rises again, echoing the way trauma can resurface but also how healing repeats itself over time. Its endless loop mirrors the tension between collapse and recovery, showing trauma not as something that vanishes but as something that can be carried, reshaped, and lived with.

By turning clinical instruments into part of a living fountain, the work transforms their cold, medical function into a reflection on resilience and vulnerability.
