A calm rant is needed after the stop bath – Dory Cheng Solo

Description
Dory is still in her fourth (and fifth) year of her undergraduate studies. During the summer of this weird year, she came to the company where I was working as an intern. I kept expecting her to make a pinhole camera somewhere in the office and probably an overexposed image on photo paper or something like that at some farewell cake ceremonies at the end of her internship. On my desk, I also put the homemade coaster she gave me with Diatomaceous earth mixed with plaster, which had a blue pattern on it. The first time I picked it up, the color was partly gone. Some of the white powder on the coaster also fell off. I have not used the coaster even once because it was too brittle. I thought I would accidentally put too much pressure on it with a cup, and that the blue color would be lost when I touched it with water, or that coffee is darker than white… I can see that blue color in my mind, and it was exactly the same blue color she used for her cyanotype print.
