Term Break Experiment 02

This system represents the memories that we have of one another. Memories are all stored in our heads although it existed as reality a long time ago, or just a few hours back. Books are very much the containers of memories (e.g. photo albums, biographies, diaries...), but this particular structure works as a connotation of memories.

Although paper is considered as three-dimensional, its flatness makes it almost two-dimensional if nothing is done to it. This paper represents the memories that exist in our heads. It is two-dimensional, it is non-existent; just a fleeting memory of the past. However as we try to dig through these memories, or try to make it exist once more (either by catching up with old pals or trying to do something similar to what you did in the past) makes it 'real'. Hence the paper begins to become form. Therefore in this system of mine, each page becomes more and more dimensional, referring to the digging up of the past to make it present.
