“Crmpl” – Unspeakable.

In Eastern culture, white symbolizes mourning, death, sadness, and loss, often associated with funerals. In contrast, Western culture sees white as a symbol of purity, holiness, peace, and joy, particularly in weddings. The white tissue embodies the complexity of both perspectives. These used tissues, crumpled and messy, seem to transform into flowers, ghosts, and faces, blurring the lines between beauty and sorrow. Perhaps the pain endured is not wasted; it can become something beautiful once more.
