Right Page:
This journal came together in a non-linear way. It's been a time of introspection and posing questions. The questions started at the back of the book and moved forward. The daily entries start at the front incorporating a couple of pages of notes about Los Caprichos that were already in the book. It's a jumble but if got the job done.
