These receipts record not transactions, but the quiet vanishing of trees.
With each fold, layers shift—forests fade beneath your fingertips.
The data becomes tender, and nature’s loss begins to take form in light and shadow.
This book takes the form of receipts to reflect on humanity’s unconscious consumption of nature. Using global tree cover loss data as its core content, each “receipt” represents a different country, turning everyday transactional imagery into a medium for ecological awareness.
As viewers flip through the translucent pages, they are invited to fold the paper—rightward or downward—allowing visual layers to shift and overlap. Through this interactive gesture, the fading patterns reveal the gradual disappearance of forests, making data visible, tactile, and emotionally resonant.
