Project Description

Books and bodies share a notable similarity: each is a beautiful blend of form and function, inviting exploration and discovery. While my feelings on both are sometimes complex, I remain captivated by their indelible beauty and value. This piece celebrates that parallel in its form while maintaining its function as a watercolor book.
