Performance
One envelope, one sheet of blank paper

This work uses a single blank sheet of paper as its sole medium to explore the essence of communication. My mother and I exchanged messages exclusively through it, reusing the same envelope; existing stamps and postmarks were covered with paper of the same color before new postage was applied. In the absence of words, the blank sheet itself becomes the vehicle of communication, emphasizing the tension between form, medium, and repetition within a relationship.
