When sadness stays, what do you do?

Do you run away, or do you let it sit beside you?

This concept driven artist book explores the lingering presence of sadness. Sadness is printed on transparent sheets, almost imperceptible at first. As the pages turn, these layers rest upon the colored paper beneath, and what was once invisible slowly begins to appear.

Across the transparent pages, blue pigments emerge in varying densities — a gentle measure of feeling as it gathers and disperses through time. As one moves through the book, the shifting presence of blue mirrors the breathing rhythm of what it means to feel — never fixed, always alive.

A quiet story about learning not to erase sadness, but to notice it, hold it, and let it be.

A little saving when the book and its companion reunite — they’re happier side by side!
