It is an analog piece of my posts on my social media platform, WeChat, that aims to express the idea of re-building the context and the relationship of all the posts. Because all the posts are isolated from their original context as long as it posted, and nobody would know completely why I am posting them and what I have experienced behind the posts. Thus, I made this personal piece to rebuild the context to make my subjective dataset. Then, it also becomes a great challenge to me to present the whole database since it is hard to represent my experience, the idea of isolated context, the re-generated context, and the idea to conceal my subjective context all at the same time through the form. My project ends up with a folio, and each page has two sides: one side shows the data set, and the other side shows the context needed to be revealed to check. Overall, it is a personal piece that helps me to reflect on my past and reconsider the another isolating self-created by social media and the others.
