In Marrakech, in 2021, I started a list of all the words that I had used in my alphabet books since 2013, a total of 118 words. The first part of the project used these words in some drawings, that are called history/maps. After returning to Morocco in the spring of 2022, I still had 61 words unaccounted for, not included in the drawings, so I made this simple collage book to complete the series.
As always, this is not a complete idea as there are both repeats and new words. My work, like life itself, is sadly not perfect.
