    Text: Joan Didion; Image: Mika Tajima

Goals/Context: This book unites Joan Didion’s Goodbye to All That with Mika Tajima’s work, forming a “trinity of women artists” by merging their creations with my own.Process/Solution: Blind contour drawings were sewn onto the book with temperature-sensitive wire that shifts from pink to white, adding a dynamic, interactive layer. Anonymous tags from classmates and Peter introduce a communal element, while a compact 5”x7” format fosters intimacy. A vinyl sticker appendix reinterprets the role of captions.Results: Exhibited at the SVA library,its whereabouts remain unknown.
