This book features ventilation grates found in RISD Museum and juxtaposes them alongside works of art. The grates, framed to look like art, are presented as such, before they are revealed in their original contexts. The book shows that beauty can be found anywhere, even in the most mundane of objects, if you can see them without prejudice.
