This book art sculpture, fashioned as a medieval neck ruff, explores the profound connection between intellect and emotion. Crafted from hand-tanned fish leather and naturally dyed pages, it embodies the delicate balance between knowledge and feeling. The ruff, traditionally worn as a symbol of status and intellect, here becomes a metaphor for how books—both tangible and symbolic—serve as conduits between the head and heart. The organic materials evoke a sense of timelessness, while the intricate form invites reflection on how stories and wisdom, like the ruff, encircle and shape our understanding of ourselves and the world.
