Solitary Confinement is an artists’ book that not only discusses the issue of solitary confinement but demonstrates a form of confinement that readers/visitors can experience for themselves. The book when unfolded becomes a 6 feet high sculpture. The thin yet strong, almost translucent paper I'm working with turns the pages into walls symbolizing the remoteness from civilization. One is surrounded by the outer world which is out of reach. The longing for a connection is kept alive only by memory.
