On the first table, there are 10 sheets of paper. The changes in the paper are subtle and hard to
recognize at first, but gradually they become apparent. The papers are made by shredding new
paper, grinding it with water into a pulp, scooping it into a mold, and making paper from it again.
This process is repeated a number of times, and gradually the fibers of the paper become shorter
and the texture rougher. I wanted to explore and visualize the subtle changes that occur with the
iterations, revealing the characteristics and limitations of the material and allowing people to think
about paper recycling in a new way.
On the second table are five different types of contaminated paper waste and five sheets of recycled
paper. Each type of paper waste was recycled into new paper in the same way as in the first work. But
this time the investigation is not about changes of the same, but how different types of paper waste
produce different results depending on their level of contamination.
