Soft Exit is created on a surface made from shredded paper that has been reprocessed and formed into new paper. Fragments of printed language are destroyed, reshaped, and fused into a renewed ground.
Against this reconstructed field, a solitary silhouette appears — partially translucent, suspended between presence and departure. The figure does not resist the surface but moves gently across it, as if stepping into a quieter space.
By dismantling and rebuilding printed material, the work reflects on transformation rather than loss. What is broken becomes foundation. What is fragmented becomes structure. Soft Exit suggests that departure can be an act of renewal — a quiet reconfiguration of identity and direction.
