"Analemma" is a reflection transformed into a labyrinth game. After years of ignoring our problems, the time has come to finally confront them. All these problems are present and threatening, like a slumbering darkness, interpreted as a night that rests upon us with the weight of its four moons, and whose end will only come once we reach the Sun. The only solution is to follow it in its own cycle of light.

Many events are occurring just halfway through 2020, and we're still going around in circles. The Manichean interpretation of light and darkness is still noticeable, sometimes as twisted as the damp corridors of a labyrinth in which we've been lost for a long time. Now we only have one chance to find the right path.

This concept is conceived as a simple design proposal, using the basic elements of editorial design for its format. Its black and white printing, variable dimensions, natural appearance, and handcrafted finish make it a self-published product with its own unique character.
