The book entitled Closer by Susan Kozel explores Maurice Merleau-Ponty's definition of phenomenology. In creating a book for Kozel's work, I aimed to create a piece of work that engaged the readers senses in a similar way as her work does, using a hybrid of technological and organic.

The cover of the book is an ascii version of one of her images laser engraved into a sheet of paper. The delicate nature of the cover and its transparency give insight to the theme of the book, alluding to a personal and layered relationship to technology.
