This assignment required me to look at a book as an object rather than a book as a container. The inspiration behind my book is my life living with arthritis. The book is constructed out of rusted metal plates. As metal ages it rusts and becomes brittle. This relates to how I am perceived to be aging faster with my joints swelling and becoming brittle. The metal plates are bound together by a simple bolt forming the joint. The binding is tight and stiff representing the joints in my body. The overall weight of the book and the dirt left behind on ones hands after looking at the book relates to the weight and burden of arthritis on my life.
