"The Veiled Bath is set along the Irish coast, in a society that has learned to survive by becoming controlled, calm, and uniform. Bodies are sealed inside tight suits, hiding scars, pores, and any trace of personal identity. What keeps the society stable also slowly removes the softness of being human.

Inside the museum, the suit is taken off. The visitor enters the Irish seaweed bath exposed, no longer protected by the surface that once made everyone look the same. Heat, steam, water, and kelp begin to work on the body. The kelp clings, wraps, and thickens, forming a second skin that feels both protective and unsettling. It covers the exposed body, but instead of hiding vulnerability, it gives it a new form.

As the visitor moves through the museum, this kelp skin grows, dries, and eventually sheds. What remains is a fragile outline of the body, carrying the memory of that temporary transformation. These shed skins are flattened, hung, and accumulated as an archive.

The Veiled Bath imagines memory as something carried by the body, not kept behind glass. It invites viewers to see vulnerability as something visible, strange, and worth preserving."
