station 02 / wash basin

the objects become legible under water

Translucent scraps catch cyan edge light. Old adhesive softens, barcodes blur, and the studio records what the material remembers before it forgets.

station 03 / shredder orchestra

paper strips curl, metal crescents tap time

Toothed rollers chew the sorted fragments into a confetti with memory: bits of barcode, colored bands, receipt numbers, and aluminum crescents.

Clamps descend slowly. Warm slabs flatten into marbled surfaces where process ghosts remain visible beneath the resin, pulp, and softened plastic.
