Paraffin books become silent objects: they cannot be read, but one can feel their weight, density, and vulnerability. They remain nearby as silent witnesses, having lost their content but not their presence.

Today, books are increasingly perceived as pure text, losing their physical presence. But at the same time, they are objects with their own physicality, history and memory.
