Life Time / Julie Chen., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-27874-29013
Scope and Contents

Each line of the poem is printed on a paper disc; each center hole decreases in size forming a vertical lens-like object held together by two paper tapes on the sides. The final disc has the image of a diving man. The poem reads: My life is passing right before my eyes. Could it be I have been caught beneath the current of my daily routine and am drowning slowly day by day? The box is collaged in water colored paper. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
