Regrets

A regret is not only a wound — it is also evidence of caring. We regret the things that mattered to us. This work holds both the weight of what we wish had been different and the quiet wisdom that can grow from it. Participants are invited to name a regret, and then — if they can — the lesson it left behind.

Submissions appear as glowing orbs that drift slowly through darkness. Each orb carries its text in orbit, regrets rendered in uppercase, lessons in lowercase — a visual grammar of how the two feel different in the body. The orbs repel one another gently, never quite colliding, never quite still. Over time, the darkness fills with light that would not exist without what was lost.
