Once, I heard the African American writer Toni Morrison (the first Afro-American woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993) saying:
"If there is a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it yourself."
I followed her advice, and the first prototype was, of course, mine!

What brings me fulfillment is to hold a form of art in front of me, in my arms, in my mind, to become one with it, to feel its energy, to decipher it, and to accept it within me.
The association between a book and art generated this formula of expression of mine.

I believe that in this "reading installation," the reader becomes directly, immediately a creator, a writer, an artist.
We compose together.

The book contains strokes of orthodox black ink, but also coffee stains (most of them accompanied by the aromatic liquid), teas, wine tannins, watercolors, or acrylic paints.


It is a work that writes itself as it is browsed.

At the same time, it is rewritten as you add yourself to it.


It is a form of reading accessible to anyone, even if a language or another is foreign to you, even if you are niche in a particular literary genre.
It is a kind of manuscript that appeals to synesthesia, to the blending of boundaries between senses.


That is why I gave it the name:
“Text, Sound and Texture.”

The work is an aesthetic fragment of me, from who I have grown into until 50.

It will surely evolve, change its form, reach new levels of maturity, because it will undoubtedly reflect my quests, questions, experiences, and revelations.


Each copy is entirely handmade, with care, with emotion, with symbol, and, of course, waits to be part of someone’s story!
