raw edges
Unbound textile perimeters
Raw edges are the unfinished, cut edges of fabric that haven't been hemmed or sealed, prone to fraying: The raw edges of the curtain were already unraveling.
Figuratively, raw edges describe the rough, unpolished, or emotionally exposed aspects of something: The film's raw edges gave it an authentic feel.
A person's raw edges are their vulnerabilities or unresolved tensions.
