What appears to be an empty sheet of paper folded between two blank hardcovers is a book made for breathing. A lightweight fan that will rest in your palm. You can open and close it in a variety of accordion shapes allowing you to experience a meditative pause, a moment away from the screen, a respite from peripheral noise.
I imagine this object in an oasis in the desert. In a submarine.
