I believe that destruction can be more complex and intriguing than creation
In this project I explored how identical objects acquire unique characteristics through the process of decay. I used garage cooperatives as an example of unified everyday structures. Each garage door remains identical to another until its surface begins to decompose under the influence of time, sun, rain, usage and other unintentional phenomena.
I printed captured shapes and textures on receipt/thermal paper, a material that reflects the temporality, vulnerability, and ordinariness of the selected objects. The method I used to staple the paper pieces to the photo underlines the inconspicuous value I find in these unique manifestations of pure contingency in our everyday environment. The installation was set up in the abandoned house, where I left it to fate...or chance:)
In addition to this project, I designed and printed a book detailing my research journey from the beginning. I used various types of paper and experimented with layering to add texture and depth to the reading experience.
