Ouzman has built a career transforming discarded, unwanted books into portals to magical worlds.
Unsurprisingly, Ouzman has a deep interest in psychology and at one point aspired to be an art therapist.
This message of using external stories to recalibrate our interior lives fits perfectly with her medium of books.

Not everything needs to be so fast-paced, so rapid, and easy to consume, she says.

Most of the books Ouzman works with now are donations.

By turning them into art, shes essentially saving them from going to a landfill.
Through her meticulous cutting and detailed illustrating, she turns her art-making into a meditation on meaning and patience.
