Exit Wounds Archive exists because something passed through.

This is not a studio.
This is not a collection.
This is not therapy, and it is not performance.

This is an archive of what remains after impact.

We live in a culture obsessed with arrival: outcomes, success, visibility, resolution.

Exit Wounds Archive is concerned with departure. With what is left behind when systems move on, when people are processed, when meaning is extracted and discarded.

Here, memory is not nostalgia.
Pain is not spectacle.
Healing is not mandatory.

What matters is witness.

Exit Wounds Archive documents the marks left by power, intimacy, labor, love, surveillance, loss, and time. It holds fragments: writing, images, objects, records, and unfinished thoughts. Some are clear. Some are damaged. Some refuse interpretation.

Nothing here is optimized.
Nothing here is clean.

This archive rejects the demand to be consumable, productive, or resolved. It resists the flattening of experience into content and the erasure of complexity for comfort. It acknowledges that some wounds do not close neatly, and some truths are only visible after the body has moved on.

Exit Wounds Archive believes that memory is political, that forgetting is often enforced, and that silence is rarely neutral. It exists to slow down the moment after harm—before it is rewritten, minimized, or monetized.

This work is not about fixing the past.
It is about refusing to let it disappear.

What you find here may be incomplete.
It may be uncomfortable.
It may not be for you.

That is intentional.

Exit Wounds Archive is not an answer.
It is a record..
