Commissioned for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. A diptyche of computer generated prints display a young girl on the left holding a bouquet of flowers in an outdoors environment and a listing of archaic quotations on breathing on the right, including among others "from the healthy breath of morn... down and out breath... breathing thoughtful breath... last breath he drew in... clothed with his breath... breathe not his name... waste of breath the years behind...this present breath may buy..." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition at "The Art Gym" in Marylhurst University, Marylhurst Oregon. The Sackners purchased the print from pages 14-15 in this book. In the afeterward essay "Mars Observations Observations" Terri M. Hopkins writes, "In the spread using four Romance languages on two pages with the headings 'Traducao de Maquina' and 'Traduction Automatique' (pages 14-15), the artist over-does it on the various accents and markings. Hickman puts accents on all the e's, tildes over the a's, and cedillas under all the c's. Anyone who has ever struggled to learn and write a second language can empathize with the temptation to simply get it over with and mark everything." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The two images in this work depict a cement walkway with graffiti images and a lawn covered with fallen leaves. The text that encircles the images is printed in Spanish with a calligraphic font and punctuation marks added to the words that are not part of the Spanish grammar. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
