The Shell in the Clouds (El Caparazón en las Nubes or Ma' Conch't do't Nub't) softcover book is a visual documentation of Pavel Acevedo's printmaking process and the body of work created during his Beyond the Press residency at Self Help Graphics & Art. "The images created in this series are a celebration of the rebelliousness that is part of ourselves," says Pavel Acevedo.

The artist's work includes an array of mythological characters inspired by the Zapotec stories, in a contemporary context, shared by his grandfather to explore migration, immigration, borders, and the duality many immigrants contend with after leaving their homeland for a new nation. The pages are filled with otherworldly creatures, half-human half-animals (nahuales), and highly detailed work, leading viewers from one page to another.

This softcover book features printmaking art and photography.
