Again and Again examines the intergenerational transmission of trauma, interrogating how its unresolved residues embed themselves within memory’s very fabric. Rejecting the notion of trauma as a discrete event, the installation engages Bracha L. Ettinger’s matrixial borderspace—a field where trauma simultaneously marks separation and connection, shaping how memory circulates between bodies and across time.

The work’s fractured gestures and layered textures materialize Marianne Hirsch’s postmemory, wherein trauma is inherited not as story, but as a trace that persists beyond narrative. Rather than depicting specific histories, the installation renders how trauma’s aftereffects persist, haunting subsequent generations through what may remain unsaid.

Weaving operates as both method and metaphor: its repetitive labor mirrors memory’s cyclical returns, while its interlaced threads literalize the entanglement of past and present. What remains unresolved is not discarded but rewoven—carried forward, stitch by stitch, into the future.
