Me dio por hacer un libro

Idea

I made a book for myself, about myself and out of myself. A space to talk about who I am, what I love, what I don't, what defines me and all those small things that are also part of me. Designed at home and developed as university coursework, it gathers many versions of me in one place: one that, like me, is always under construction.
