Artist's book created "as a reaction to India hitting the 1 billion mark and becoming the second most populated country on the planet despite its size. Hand drawn on Kozo, cut and adhered to sheets of Bugra, this book is meant to capture glimpses from a few of the 7 billion+ lives being lived on our planet simultaneously."--Artist's website https://www.radhapandey.com. Cover title. Date from colophon. Colophon: "Short glimpses into a few of the 7 billion+ lives being lived on our planet simultaneously. Designed and bound by Radha Pandey. Printed by Ellen Procko." Three French-folded sheets of gray paper bound in black wrappers; each sheet has been folded twice at right angles: once horizontally from top to bottom, and once vertically from left to right to form four uncut pages; when the sheets are folded, only blank gray pages are visible; the reader catches "glimpses" of the illustrations on the pages beneath through small square cut-outs; when the sheets are opened, the reader sees four scenes of daily life on the planet Earth, featuring people, animals, cities, trains, planes, and trees drawn in black and white ink. Edition of 30 copies.
