Grief is an Origami Swan has become a widely circulated resource since its release, requested by name in bookstores, added to library collections, and adopted in classrooms and therapy practices. Combining black-and-white botanical illustrations with pressed flowers and grasses, Saint-Michel directed the book’s visual language and tactile design. Step-by-step folding instructions transform the reading experience into ritual, while the book itself opens a resonant world where grief can be embodied, worked through, and reimagined.
