THE NAME OF THE ROSE

Experimental Book

Two massive stone blocks enclose seven sheets, seven chapters of Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose. Cold, medieval, monumental. The stone acts as both protection and barrier, concealing knowledge within its weight. The act of opening the book becomes an act of discovery: breaking through the wall, revealing what is hidden, and searching for answers.
