Choose Your Illusion gets at the fundamental impossibility of 1:1 communication transfer. Ideas around the effects of filters/bubbles in our social lives, as well as the intentional/accidental distortions inherent in each "retelling" in the exchange of information, keep percolating up my projects. 

In this case, an experimental book folds out to create a sort of lightbox or shadow theater. Its transparent pages carry images abstracting the concepts of go/stop, transmit/pause, and so forth. These are then illuminated and rearranged to create unique combinations. However, each page changes the information deduced from the next, making it impossible to see single images "truly." This complication worsens the further one reads into the book.
