The Secret Life of a Color (2023) The Secret Life of a Color is a project exploring the mortal aspect of colors. Convential wallpapers are artificially colored in order to stand the effects of time for as long as possible.  This motive is questioned by deconstructing the wallpaper and removing the artificial color. Then the wallpaper material is redyed with natural, unpredictable dyes such as avocado stones and roses picked from neighbourhood gardens. The color will change and eventually fade with time, just as any living creature does.
