- The publication draws a parallel between the craft of letterpress printers and the movement of bees.
- The first comparison comes from the disappearance of the honeybee population reported in 2006 and the fragility in the permanence of the letterpress printer’s craft.
- The loose sheets function as a flip-book that, when activated, shows the movement of typographic characters simulating the flight of bees around other typographic characters representing plants, leaves, and trees.
- Naranja bought this book on October 18, 2019, during the Impresionante Art Book Fair, hours before the start of the Chilean uprising.
