This series of handmade books is crafted from repurposed and second-hand paper, incorporating a collage-like approach that reflects the fragmented and nonlinear nature of memory, media, and everyday ephemera. By assembling discarded printed materials—magazine pages, old documents, and found texts—each book becomes an artifact of past narratives, reconfigured into a new visual language.
The spiral binding and layered compositions embrace the tactile qualities of recycled paper, emphasizing the materiality of print culture in an era dominated by digital consumption. The visible folds, creases, and handwritten marks preserve traces of previous use, embedding the works with a sense of history and lived experience. This process not only challenges traditional notions of authorship and originality but also raises questions about value, permanence, and the life cycle of printed matter in an age of mass production and disposability.
