This media studies project explores the hidden systems of extraction, labor oppression, and ecological damage behind electronic technologies production.

Under capitalism, technological progress and production is still sustained by the exploitation of land, labor, and Cost outsourcing, yet these costs still invisible to consumers.

The work takes the form of a handmade folded book, which presents as a space where image, materials, and language collide. A single, ordinary photograph becomes the conceptual entry point: an image that appears neutral and harmless, yet is deeply entangled with global systems of mining, manufacturing, data circulation, and waste.

Rather than documenting pollution only, the project focuses on the pollution and oppression that are happening but being hidden under the narrative of digital capitalism.

My work is the contrast between the polished language of technology—efficiency, innovation, connectivity, clean futures—and the lived realities of workers at the bottom of the supply chain, particularly miners and factory laborers in the Global South.
