Command Z
Command Z is a book that visualises the memory loss caused by Alzheimer's disease. The book is divided into early, middle and late sections, matching the stages of the disease. A different design approach is used in each section. Fragile tracing paper in the early section reflects the vulnerability of patients. Temperature sensitive ink is used in the middle section, so the text appears when a hand is placed on the page. In the late section, the book is combined with fire, and the burned paper cannot be repaired, like lost memory.
