Remolding History-Recycled Paper

1. Creative Process:‌

Collected newspapers from 1966 to 1976, spanning 11 years.

The newspapers were cut into small fragments.

The fragments were soaked in water until softened.

A blender was used to break down the soaked newspaper scraps.

The pulped newspaper fibers were then reformed into new paper.

2. Conceptual Framework:‌

The historical context of the past now seems entirely unfamiliar.

Through the process of deconstructing and reconstructing newspapers,

this work explores the tension between:

Authority vs. Fragility‌ of "discourse,"

Temporality vs. Permanence‌ of narratives.

It reflects on the evolving nature of societal contexts over time.
