Modular installation made out of recycled paper and old furniture.
The project reflects on the spaces we inhabit and the amount of objects we use daily. It relates to the layering of time and memories, involving the overproduction of goods. Old furniture and wasted paper (newspapers and school books) become the primary materials for outdoor installation.
The modular sculptures relate to feelings of belonging, familiarity and the affective importance we attach to the objects surrounding us daily. The spectator can experience the work from within, moving between the "walls" and inhabiting the space. Paper is a durable material that becomes incredibly long-lasting if layered. The shape of the work will change slowly by being exposed to changing weather conditions. Still, it will never disappear completely, becoming a visual reminder of our daily consumption's impact on the environment.
