The sheer fact of being alive makes us “trace makers”.
We influence each others lives in many different aspects; the sharing of thoughts, actions we take, and the way we choose to navigate in life generally.
Physically we also leave traces on each other and our clothes; the mark of a kiss, perhaps emphasised with lipstick? The sensation of a hug, the smell of a loved one on a t-shirt left behind, the sweat stains after exercising, dirt on your shoes - the list is infinite!
Some of them we find appropriate others are more or less ignored and lastly some are almost taboo.
All these traces tell stories of our actions, the ones that only involve ourselves and our clothes, or the ones that appear through interaction with others.
