This impeccably crafted book unfolds to reveal an enormous 3D compass. Ocean-colored paper stands up in waves, beckoning like a portal to a sunken city. When the book is folded up into its wedge-shaped box, it becomes sunken treasure.

Project Description
The Deep is a tribute to maritime folklore and tradition developed over centuries of nautical exploration. The pop-up book unfolds to an oversized eight-point compass rose. The compass, arguably the sailor's most valuable instrument, not only enables accurate navigation but brings good luck, ensuring safe passage home and protecting against a watery end in the Deep.Production Lesson(s)
The work is a circular accordion-bound pop-up book. Pop-ups were cut and assembled by hand, then mounted on board wrapped in Canapetta bookcloth. The work is housed in a wedge-shaped storage box, which also holds a signed and numbered colophon.
