Paper-clay, stainless steel desk, sound.

Seeking ways to stay in the United States after my studies, I started obsessively Xeroxing the same photograph from my American visa on legal size paper. Each one of these sheets were soaked in slip clay (liquid form), dried and fired in the kiln. Clay coated pieces were then peeled from the air pockets, which occurs with the paper burning. The image of my visa photograph imprinted on fragile thin sheets of clay were revealed after this laborious process.

Mimicking a customs gateway, this installation was complete by a continuous sound of passports being stamped.
