Editorial Design: 73 Codex  
Since I just got back from doing documentation, I come bearing photos. (Unedited, not yet retouched photos, but photos nonetheless.)

TITLE: 73
SUBTITLE: A Meditation on Transience
CREATED: September 28, 2007
COMPLETED: October 3, 2007
MATERIALS: Paper, acetate, cardstock
FORMAT: Bound Codex
DIMENSIONS: 2.50 x 2.50 inches
DISCIPLINE: Editorial Design

DESCRIPTION: With inspiration from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 73, the 73 Codex reflects on the parallel between organic beings and the process of decay that occurs on biological and psychological levels. The attempt to stop or slow the process of aging, thereby creating a sense of suspended time, occurs with immortalization in slide photographs. Each image documents the gradual passing of time, and abstracts the degeneration of memory by using leaves as a metaphor for human beings.

I really like how the pages are slides. It makes the entire thing feel both scientific, and like a secret beauty that you have to hold up to the light to truly see.
