This work is an interactive installation featuring a pen plotter. The plotter is attempting to create a depiction of the visitor and then overwrite the drawn image. It draws the figure by erasing with the chamois cloth, only to later overwrite the revealed figure with charcoal. The process is ongoing and continuous, and adds new layers for each participant on top of the previous ones. Creating a chaotic blend of all the depictions, the work challenges the idea of individual identity and what about it is to be seen.
