Georgia O’Keeffe, from a letter to Alfred Stieglitz featured in My Faraway One: Selected Letters of Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz: Volume One, 1915-1933
P.s. Initially, this artbook was not conceived as a book at all.
It all started as a simple learning task — we only had to make 3-4 turns to demonstrate. A small project. A few pages. Nothing else.
But when we started studying Phainon's design—his cape, shoulder pads, and the symbols hidden in every detail—something clicked. We realized that 3-4 reversals would not be enough. There was too much to say.
And then I just... I couldn't stop myself 😅
What started as a cool project turned into months of research, semiotic analysis, historical background, empirical research, and more than 90 pages of layout. I found myself staying up until 3 a.m., correcting kerning, checking translations, and rereading sources for the tenth time to make sure I understood the difference between paludamentum and paenula correctly.
This book is proof that sometimes a small idea, if given free rein, can turn into something you never expected.
We hope that you will feel the love that we have put into every page! ❤️✨
