Day 1.1
1998–2001

A black and white photograph of a person standing against a wall, covered entirely in cardboard boxes that are arranged to resemble a humanoid figure. The boxes are taped together, and the person's head is also covered with a box, obscuring their identity. The image has a border with the text "DAY 1" printed on the bottom right corner, suggesting it might be part of a series or project. The setting appears to be a room with a carpeted floor.
