what is otherwise lost

The original text in the table of contents book reads: 

the guide that was never enough to help find our way; seventeen percent of the air you breathed while we watched the meteor fall from the sky; three percent of the fog that enveloped us when we parted and I cried; your thought that I shared when I knew what you were thinking; the space between your sigh and mine

Found cabinet, table of contents of handset type with screen-printed and foil-stamped covers, handmade flax with suminagashi, silk thread, found objects. 5 x 12 x 3.5"
