About the Exhibition
Since 2017, the Macao Polytechnic University Visual Arts Bachelor's Degree program has incorporated paper pulp sculpture into its curriculum. While paper is one of humanity's most familiar everyday materials, paper pulp sculpture remains an uncommon art form in the public eye. This exhibition aims to:
- Reimagine the image of paper in our minds through these unique sculptures.
- Demonstrate how artists can breathe new life into materials often considered waste through their distinctive vision.
