Sealed - Experimental Book Design

This teaser book interprets Sealed by Naomi Booth, a novel about motherhood and a mysterious skin-sealing epidemic.

The design explores themes of body, concealment, and transformation through tactile and interactive elements:

- Wound-shaped cut-outs with red thread represent scars and skin trauma.

- Cut-outs partially hide the text, echoing secrecy
and tension.

- Loose threads across spreads resemble blood vessels.

Hand-bound and made using embroidery, paper cutouts, and transparent layers, this piece invites the reader to physically engage with the unsettling world of the story.
