In this unique blend of art, architecture and design, in conjunction with references of the past, present and future, Arsham presents an image of an eroding book by David Attenborough. This motif of decomposition, physically spans across the front of the book, cascading along to the books binding. It is as if the material is collapsing on itself, in turn creating a rough texture. The typography is indented into the material, creating a more tactile surface.
