Student Narrative

This tunnel book draws inspiration from a whale stranding I witnessed firsthand, and how the deceased whale continues to nourish coral, plankton, and other marine life. Its construction was inspired by artist Judy Chen's approach to art books, incorporating numerous recycled materials—such as paper from Loop Lab and discarded Riso print materials—to embody the concept of recycling.
