Student Narrative

This book takes the form of a coelacanth to explore evolution, ancestry, and what it means to be a living fossil. Inside are soft tiles of extinct and extant species related to the coelacanth. Through play and rearrangement, evolution can be something a species aspires towards, dreaming about the endless possibilities of biology.
