The series of three books as a set allowed me to ask questions and present a vehicle for the photographs: the first one was the beginning, which led to the other two.

I photographed six wall corners in my home in the first book, so that we can look at the often overlooked wall corners.

Then, in the second book, I used these six images to make collages and reorganise them, using the interaction between the characteristics of the book and the paper to present different visual experiences to the viewer, and at the same time expressing how I dialogue with the characteristics of my home to form an image.

Finally, the same type of collage is used to present the visual sensation of “repetition” to the limit, as the clear pattern gradually disappears in the process, just like the corner of the wall returning to the wall again, and then the trilogy cycle of a new series begins again.
