The Cycle Of Life – The Book

The text in the book is multi-modal. The text combines visual contents with written texts from the Jewish origin relevant to the book. The images in the book are taken from the micro and macro worlds, invisible to the eye since they are either minute or humongous. The leafs of the book are actually titanium and black steel tablets.
