We receive an enormous amount of information and give the fastest feedback from social media every day, which is our way of trying to fit into the social relationships of the contemporary world. Having been in this way of life for so long, I felt lost and anxious. The photos and information we watch for a long time are compressed into the size of the mobile phone screen and the computer screen. During the compression process, text and images become homogenized. At the same time, our perception of time and space is compressed.

I wanted to design an exhibition space for people who want to experience a slow-paced life, allowing them to immerse and relax temporarily, and I thought of the medium of paper. Paper can be mass-produced or handcrafted, each with its own distinct personality. Different information can be properly presented on different papers. In this space, people can re-feel the original power of information by watching paper making and reading paper.
