Jenny fell down the surrealist rabbit hole when designing this paper. Using René Magritte's The Treachery of Images ("Ceci n'est pas une pipe") as a starting point, she found herself stuck at one of his famous quotes: “Everything we see hides another thing; we always wish to see what is hidden by what we see.” She then came across another: “Visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question, ‘What does that mean?’. It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.” As a wrapping paper designer, she’s still trying to figure out what that really means. But deep down, she just wanted to say, "Hey, no matter how you wrap it, we all know it's a book." 

Individual sheet is 19"x27" unfolded. (The perfect size for a shirt box. Or three paperbacks)
