The project "Mein Buch", in English "My book", was a proposal of autobiography. It was all done by hand, with no perfectionism so that the character of imperfection was a feature of the book.
The book associates the author's visual memories, at her 23 years of age, with musical passages or texts that were highlighted during the presented phase.
The illustrations were made in watercolor and ink and the passages were written on a typewriter under vegetal paper and glued.
The project proposes to make a record of life as it is; sometimes colorful and lively and sometimes dark and sad.
