Home vs Home, Artist Book, 2023

Hand-assembled dos-à-dos book, 5 x 5 inches, Digital print on art paper (Edition Size: 5)

An interactive dos-à-dos book that plays with notions of scale and mediated experiences of the world. Constructed by hand, the piece is designed to produce an "analog zoom" effect, zooming into two locations on opposite ends of the globe. It is a commentary upon the diasporic experience, or rather, the increasing absurdity of that concept as the physicality of our geographies progressively diminishes in significance.
