DEVORARE.COM.TAMIKO Combining is a transparent box, approximately 10' wide, 8' high and 4" deep adjacent to the shredder will be on the wall as a painting. This will contain previously shredded paper by a New York City office (financial office or an health center) that I collect in certain period of time prior to the exhibition, it will be in form of mountain that will suggest the return of waste paper to the earth and it is an echo of shredder sculpture.
