Artist Book
30” x 5” in
Glossy Paper
Watercolor Stock
An accordion style book made with iPhone street photography of political and social singage taken all around Puerto Rico during the span of a year.

Does an image need to follow the formal elements of photography to convey a message or a serious tone? This book open up the discourse about the notions of what is a photograph and what is an image by presenting snapshots that fall somewhere in between.
