"Fragile" is one of my favorite pieces from my Altered Library. The goal of the series was to provide an on-the-spot narrative--the equivalent of visual fast food. The pieces are a commentary on the shift from a slow/easy/taking-time-to-read-a-book-under-a-tree culture to one in which we catch blurbs/soundbites/cliff's-notes/blog posts/text messages/Tweets on the fly. With impatience, short attention spans, and the desire to get what we want right now, I wanted to create an appealing visual snack to satiate our bent towards immediacy.
