HEALL

HEALL is a word formed by adding the letter “a” to the word “hell,” embodying three meanings: hell, heal, and all. The installation, located in the passageway between the MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Kraków and the former Schindler Factory, occupies a space where various histories intersect. Against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts, this word remains suspended between a state of violence and the possibility of healing.

Sometimes a single letter is enough to change the meaning.
HELL
HEALL
I’m interested in what happens when language breaks down, and how little it takes to steer something toward healing.

HEALL, meaning “Heal All,” was created by splitting the word HELL with the letter A. A minimal intervention in language that opens up the possibility of repair. A refusal to accept harm as something permanent. A fragile yet persistent political gesture.
