When I was eight years old, I began to have episodes of melancholy. I was examined and found to have a stone in my gallbladder.
This changed my life: they identified and named an unhealthy, unacceptable part of me, the point of directed hostile and invasive attention of the surrounding adults. On the day of the appointed operation to remove stone, I caught a cold. The stone stayed with me.
Ultrasound is the only way for me to see the stone I have grown. Ultrasound is represented using a technique called Pepper ghost.
My stone has become for me a container of vices: anger, stubbornness, selfishness, passion. Although my stone can harm me, I do not want to remove it.
I raised him, he is mine and only to me to decide what to do with him.
