This is a book that richly illustrates various avatars of the evil eye and thankfully offers several cures. The book is bound using a black thread that is typically used to ward off the evil eye. Interestingly, every single page of the book is formatted such that every part of the book is protected from the evil eye.

Artist statement: The birth of my first son brought into focus the prevalence of the evil eye when every little ailment was attributed to it. So I decided to find out more and document these techniques that are soon disappearing with the next gen.
