It consists of 10 sheets of hand-marbled Arches heavy-weight paper with punched alphabet. The book is contained in a handmade drop spine box with foil stamped title in the spine. Edition of 6.

Sim’s works can be divided into two themes where one is the Korean doors which represent the memories of childhood and past, the reminiscence. The other theme is about the difficulties she faces living as an International Student and the cultural differences between Korea and the United States.
