“I took a stack of failed prints on paper from a recent work, an old tube of white acrylic paint and attempted to start painting over the images so when the paint dries, I could reuse the paper again in the future for drawing or painting or writing.
During the one hour, I painted 43 pieces of paper. ”

“It was a long day and I wanted to listen to some nostalgic songs from my youth so I decided to play some songs on shuffle from a Spotify playlist I made a long time ago. During the one hour, I attempted to write out the lyrics as the songs were being played but eventually I couldn’t keep up and I got very exhausted towards the end. Looking back, I managed to listen to 11 songs and 2 Spotify advertisements.”

“I will be leaving the Netherlands and heading back to Singapore very soon. I'm starting to feel a bit sentimental about everything as I look around my room, knowing that I will be leaving in about a month. I decided to use the failed prints that were repainted from the first session and for one hour, I sat at my desk, started writing down and photographing my observations of certain objects that make up my room.”
