How to Get a Diamond
A near-obsessive
search to obtain a diamond for free, tracked through a cryptic blog. The personality behind the site, Dee
Diamonds, documents all her attempts to obtain a diamond on her own terms, whether
through formal requests to distributors or time
spent probing divorce forums and mine locations. Through layers of
pop-up windows, readers follow her quest, simultaneously tracking the tension between societal expectations and personal desire.
