This book contains two series of text. One is from The Child of Darkness, the diary of Carolina Maria de Jesus who lived in a favela in Brazil and made a living off of collecting trash. The other text contains statistics on consumption and waste in the United States of America. The paper is handmade from trash I collected on the streets of Tempe, Arizona along with images printed from found objects also collected in Tempe.
