‘How do I look on paper’ is a critical project that rejects evaluating people based on their write-ups and documents. In the process of applying for visas, exhibitions, residencies, jobs or immigration, you are judged based on how you appear to be on paper. Whoever processes your documents does not know you as a person. They do not know your history, likes, dislikes and they certainly do not identify with you as an individual; your whole life is reduced to a pile of paper and your future is decided upon it. My project comprises creating an experiential space, where people are able to use all senses to experience the work. Things to touch, smell, walk through, contemplate, alternate or even watch grow, a changing minimal process rather than a finished piece.
