Straw

A lotus-style book built around a single idea: there is no need to rush what takes time. The straw becomes an unlikely metaphor — useful only in the act of taking, disposable once the substance is gone. As the pages dissipate, the book enacts its own message, tracing the arc from connection to decline and asking what remains when patience runs out.
