“A space to another space”


In this project, I explored the spatial relationships, structure, and dynamics of the building I work in. The industrial structrure of the building is used as a material and becomes the main protagonist of this visual story. This project was inspired by Jennie C. Jones "dynamics," at the Guggenheim museum in 2022 and Lygia Clark's Bicho.

I have divided this booklet into three parts, with primary colors as the main theme. The cover and back were created using Riso print and then scanned down, with two square outlines on top to represent spatial transformation.

The first part showcases the documentation and transformation of photos. I used 3D shapes to trace the photos, and the front and back side provide a comparison of the photos before and after the conversion; The second part focuses on layering, using transparent paper prints to explore depth and create a new space. Viewers can turn the page to the left side of the yellow background to stack layers and view the artwork from different angles; The final part showcases connection by using a prototype cube to transition from 2D to 3D. Each side of the cube features a pattern, which can be connected and rearranged to create unique combinations.
