Art that Breathes is a hand-bound artist book created using traditional Japanese stab binding, a structure that honors slowness, attention, and the beauty of making by hand. Bound with thread as both a practical and symbolic gesture of connection, the book gathers the 16 points of the Art that Breathes manifesto into an intimate object designed to be held, revisited, and lived with. Part field guide, part prayer book, part call to action, it invites readers into a creative practice rooted in ecology, reciprocity, sensory awareness, and deep relationship with the living world.
