The Biggest Wish of all the Fish

Going Blind

Going Blind is an illustrated album without text that deals with the subject of loss – specifically the loss of sight.
The story takes place in a room overlooking the narrator's inner life, represented by
various fragments of different etchings in a variety of techniques. The room,
a blind print, changes in time. The pages of the book are dyed so that the reader can gradually see the
deterioration and feel the loss as the narrator
experiences it.
