THE PROJECT: I had always wanted to create a book that felt like a gift — wrapped or unwrapped — and this was it. Each page spread contains Thich Nhat Hanh's words about being alive and cherishing our lives — uplifteded by artwork from the hands of painter Nicholas Kirsten Honshin. The book is an intimate 5 x 7 size and was developed and designed for Brush Dance and Parallax Press.
