The work is a collection of letterpress photographs using photomechanical process. 22 black-and-white photographs appear at first glance to have been taken with Polaroid prints due to their size, but upon touching them, realizes that they are letterpress prints. The aim was to create a book that can be experienced both visually and tactilely.

It is letterpress printing by photo polymer plate. For this work, a special fine line was used in cooperation with a plate-making company. In the printing process, a gradation of black to silver ink was used to create a delicate monochrome gradation.
