Handmade, softcover accordion book in clamshell box, 7"x15" (closed)

My accordion book I walk to break free of the fear. is an illustration of inner mind as sanctuary in the form of a walking meditation. Even inside myself, where I can hide away and be free, I am tormented by fear, anxiety, and guilt. Perhaps there is no sanctuary to escape to, even within the world that I have created for myself.
