‘Image of the Original’ presents a piece of paper which reflects
its own image on itself. I photograph a piece of paper and print
its image on the same piece of paper to create an aesthetic form
that integrates two different dimensional perceptions. The
actual piece of paper belongs to 3D whereas its photographic
image, 2D. The two dimensions exist separately in our
perception, each with a different function. 2D is a conceptual
space which does not physically exist in reality. On the other
hand, 3D is a real space where we live and sense objects. It is to
open up the perceptional boundary between the two different
dimensions, reality and imagination, by combining the original
with its image.
