Each object in the room is a discarded item dipped in porcelain slip and subsequently fired in a kiln. Due to the high temperature, paper, cotton, rags, seeds, coffee cups and other materials turn to ashes, while the original form remains as a hollow porcelain shell.

Some drawings were flattened back into the original two-dimensional form resulting in fragmented maps. Some other drawings were left balled-up, but even in this form, the globe contours are disrupted as the creases loosen over time.
