Presenting an inventory of discarded Adhesive Bandages (ABs) in the city, this visual essay reflects on the pervasive presence of human traces, using the figure of anthropo-scenes. The ABs become a visual metaphor - what used to be a momentary relief for pain, a protective layer, turns into a reminder of the active role humans are playing in the earth's destruction, a reminder of the tension between human power and their own fragility
