the design is a direct conversation between creator and user. The specific book indents, a deliberate choice, echo the designer's identity, creating a curated space for shared experiences. As users engage with these indents, they partake in a silent dialogue, forging connections within the designer's boundaries.
the limitations serve as invitations, not restrictions, guiding users through the designer's narrative. This symbiotic relationship paints a tale where what fits becomes a shared moment, and what doesn't births room for new stories. These indents, akin to chapters, mark shared experiences within life's constraints, celebrating connections, understanding, and the complexities of sonder.
