White is not only a color, it is a system of interpretations and expressions that form from absence. We are invited to reflect on this during the essay collection, one which asks for slow contemplation instead of hasty agreement. We are made to think of white and whiteness in a different way through the bringing together of some philosophy, some design theory, and some art history that seeks to help us understand that sometimes the so-called emptiness of white can also contain the most fullness and the highest amount of completeness when approached in the right settings.
