SOMAMIE Lab emerged from a deep longing to heal metaphorical wounds of the soul. Envisioning a delicate restoration of a fractured heart, the fantasy involves using surgical precision to extract painful memories, infusing love and joy, and meticulously suturing the wounds with thread and needle. The fixation on physically repairing unseen pain gave rise to simulated operations and symbolic artifacts, establishing a conceptual ritual.
The core mission of SOMAMIE Lab is to explore the symbiotic relationship between surgery and art, unraveling new dimensions of creativity and human expression. Through meticulous research, innovative artistic techniques, and a commitment to academic rigor, the lab aims to push the boundaries of both disciplines while fostering a deeper understanding of their interconnectedness.
OUR MISSION
SOMAMIE Lab explores the application of surgical techniques as an artistic medium, showcasing the convergence of precision, skill, and creativity. From incisions to sutures, each surgical maneuver is transformed into a deliberate and meaningful artistic gesture, challenging conventional perceptions of both surgery and art. We stand at the crossroads of artistic innovation and medical exploration, integrating surgical modalities into the artistic process.
