Unique, fabric-over-paper, irregularly shaped case with a bookwork inside. It opens to reveal an altered notebook.
Many pages of the altered book are filled with ink marks, gouache, water color, and paper collage; the inside of the case and the altered book also contain writing, asemic writing, and collage.
The themes of the work, which include the loss of family and friends because of death, loved ones, and the striving of the survivors to let go and adapt to the losses, and move on, are recorded with marks and only a few words.
The work is currently housed in a plastic sleeve provided by the artist, and includes an information sheet about the work also provided by the artist.
