My book consists of photographs of lines made by people atop of every volcano mentioned in John Hamilton’s Volcano: Nature and Culture; a book about volcanos  represented in historical paintings and literature.

The hole in the book’s lower corner refers to the volcanos’ form, and is meant to contrast  geologic time against the pace of the social and economic changes that take place on their surface.
