Then we followed the process of bringing the paper to life in three basic steps: the heartbeat(the unseen moment of alive, to receive life, to receive and approach the object with total belief and devotion to its life and vulnerability); breath (the origins of conscious awareness and entry way to being present in the world now); Awareness through the senses (active conscious engagement with being alive: be it through seeing, touching, listening, tasting, smell...
