SCARS mending - accentuated - unique Another project by photographer Ben Winkler of women midlife & up! ‘ I seek to always be working on projects of social, emotional and impact of defining beauty and its definition!’ SCARS is a visual conversation around the issues of our paths, often impacted by times of physical hardship of illness or accidents and the visual traces left behind. I envision dialogs about the before, during, and after and the impacts on our lives. I understand that everything under the sun has been done before and this project might not be all this unique but I strive for open & raw conversation around it and me trying to put my visual interpretation to it! Scars from head to toe, any kind, any size. I got the inspiration form KINTSUGI, a japanese art form mending broken vessels with seams of gold and in doing so highlighting their uniqueness and value! Wear your Scars, they are proof that we live, that we made it through this step, let’s live today, tomorrow is yet to be written! Many might say now but what about invisible emotional scars, that’s not what this project is about yet very much so if they are connected or as a result of these physical signs - Let’s start the conversation of beauty midlife & up in ALL its forms! Scars don’t define us but are part of us and make us utterly unique in accentuating our story! #benwinklerphotography #scars #midlife #unique #visual #individual #women #mature #evolved #scarsproject https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVMAzMgoRo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jbwk4byrxh9c

maybe if I hadn't wanted you to

you never took the time to look at me after you had taken off all my clothes and scattered them across the backseat or the floor of the bathroom or lost them between the cushions of the couch in our friends basement I don't think you ever once actually saw me naked you just liked the way my breath sounded wet against your ear

I don't know why I lied and told you I was cold the night you touched me and I shivered

I crossed state lines and spent nights staring at the floor for just a chance to see you smile and you left me somewhere between the last shot and the secrets I thought meant something

kept against my skin and stuck to the t-shirt you never got a chance to touch are all of my memories of you I leave them there so that the burn reminds me that I can still be worth something even if my scars look a lot like your finger prints

he fancied himself a doctor

she used his words like knives and watched the blood drip onto the carpet such a pretty color pain she planned to let him cut her until there wasn't any skin left unscarred

or until he got tired of slicing and went straight for her heart
