This series of artworks features a collection of pages from what appears to be a historical document or book. The visual elements consist of muted, sepia-toned pages with text and hand-drawn illustrations. The subject matter appears to depict various technical or scientific diagrams, perhaps related to engineering or architectural design.

Costanza Candeloro graduated in 2014 from the Haute école d’art et de design in Geneva (HEAD). The artist now lives and works in Paris.
