"RASH" is a project I created during my year at Eina. This book focuses primarily on hands, what they endure and carry: burns, cuts, eczema. It's a book meant to be looked at, but also to be felt with your hands.
I used a variety of papers with different textures, including metal for the cover, which rusts over time, just like hands that become covered in scars.
I also used Braille throughout the book, reversing the usual relationship to text: those who can't see are the only ones who can read it, while sighted readers can see the photographs but not decipher the words.
More than a book, this project was meant to be an experience.
