spreads from a 32-page children's book i adapted from my experimental pop-up project. the book tells the story of a little girl that gets kidnapped by rats after her father's death. the concept of the 'rattenkönig'-- a group of rats who get knotted together at the tail while burrowed together underground-- is used as a visual metaphor for the grief experience and the search for connection out of absence.
