The Words You Sent Me
When I made Uncovered, I wasn’t thinking about reviews. I wasn’t even sure anyone would read it. But what came back - the messages, the reflections, the emotion - reminded me why this kind of work matters. These aren’t just reviews. You didn’t just respond to the book - you reflected it. And I’m grateful for every word you sent.
…these words became part of the story. — Lex
“Lex, this is art. Real and magnetic. Merci.” - Luc
“I’m a big book reader and can tell when something is of value, this is definitely something special. I just wanted to say, though I’m going to sit again with it more slowly to take it in, it’s just so beautiful. I think I had some expectation of the story you’d intertwine with the imagery with how you’ve been sharing it online, but it feels so much more personal reading it with rough pages in your hands. It’s a very vulnerable and open project..” - Peter
“One word: breathtaking.”– Benjamin
“I just received my copy of Uncovered. Wow! I know that putting it together took a lot of time and energy, but I think the final product is gorgeous. The colors, the details… even the texture of the paper you picked. Everything is wonderful. It feels like a feast for the eyes! I can’t wait to sit with the book for a while and really meditate on all the worlds you created for us. Sharing so many intimate parts of yourself with so many people seems like something that requires a lot of courage! I’m excited to learn more about you and your journey.” - David

I wanted to congratulate you on an incredible job you’ve done. It is quite impressive what you’ve accomplished with a photographer and two graphic designers. The book is beautifully printed, designed and very well thought out and edited. I just want to send you a note to say you’re very talented and you created a super great book.” - Frederico
“I really love it. You can tell it came from the heart.”- daniel

“Just to let you know that I have well received the package. What can I say? It was worth the wait! The packaging is wonderful. The book in itself is superb! I will savour it little by little. I really enjoy the layout, with all these contact sheets, just like you did in your previous books. Good quality, great pictures, your photographer is really good at his job! The 3D images are also nice to watch.Thanks for your words in the book, it makes it «unique» for me and adds a little more of you in it! I hope to see you again one day on another book and hope that this time it will be a little bit easier to process everything!” - Raphaël
“You’ve grown so much. This book shows it.”– Robert
“Opening your book was a fully immersive experience. I’m highly impressed with the pull, the lure, or invitation to enter your world. Ran my hands over the slip cover while appreciating the weight of the book inside. This is truly an experience for all the senses. Visually, it’s exquisite well before opening the pages. Tactically, the multitude of textural feedback combined with the sheer weight was quite satisfying. The feel and sound as I ran my hand over the slip cover, the book cover, the page edge, and the ribbon, all so beautiful. I read absolutely all that was written. It was nice to meet Seafarer. I don’t think you give yourself enough credit or grace. You did a phenomenal job putting The Five together.” - Elizabeth
