2023 8.25 in x 10.75 inWhen stripping away distinct signifiers, objects become more banal. What is it to decontextualize? To become something novel? To wake? To look at a material, object, or ourselves in a new way—maybe a realization of more. Through a close examination of the banal and the every day, the objects gain a new life and challenge the reader's sense of perception and recognition. Approaching the materials and manipulating their form, the substances adapt to their manifestations and become alive. The publication adopts transformation from its latent space of possibilities to shift the perspective of everyday objects to an organic presence. The material, object, or substance retains its identity but discovers a new consciousness.
