waves

Images of the rugged coast of the Sea of Cortez fill the front side of the book waves.  Text printed onto small vellum pages is nested into each fold, offering a brief glimpse into a time spent living alongside this desert sea.  The backside single image of a single wave stretching the length of the concertina contrasts the front landscapes.  It is a wave from the same sea, the same place, but perhaps another time.  The contentment from the front side of the concertina fades.  As the wave crests and breaks, the text describes a peaking and crashing love affair.
