This toilet paper was recycled from a section The Story of America of the dictionary as a part of the dictionary-based series of works. This work was inspired by the idea of palimpsests in relation to erasure and deconstruction.

palimpsest (n)
1. a writing material that has been written on more than once after earlier writing has been erased.

Consume life-fragile trees and nature,
Conserve memories of American wars and history.
Without history, tree is a living memory.

My mother told a story:
When she was a little girl in Poland shortly after the WWII,
she collected cuts of movie stars in her scrapbook.
Paper was scarce, and her scrapbook was sacred.
When she returned home from a residential school, her scrapbook was gone.
Somebody in her large family had used it up for toilet.
