This is a very personal book about a long-distance relationship with someone from Vienna, built from repeated visits and notes I kept in my agenda, which functioned as a diary. After the relationship slowly dissolved, I structured each trip as a chapter, expanded with memories and reflections.

The book emerges from Vienna as a container for emotional fragments. During my stays I read different books and underlined passages that resonated with what I was experiencing. These passages are scanned and placed into the publication. Design-wise, the scans remain intact while my text sits above them in a larger type size, allowing both layers to stay readable. Color is used to separate voices: red for my writing, black for references to the underlined passages. The result is a book where memory, reading, and lived experience continuously intersect, forming a layered but fragmented emotional document.
