Books are always considered as static objects in people’s mind, transferring through words, pictures and imagination they produce.

People can plant whatever they like in the left side of the book, they should care for it and watch it grow.

I like to think about current and future product experiences and manufacturing processes in comparison with nature, and how stones and trees and flowers, for instance, become what they are.
