Title

Everlasting Good Karma

Everlasting Good Karma is a memoir designed and produced for my grandfather, at the age of 85. Over the past two years, he handwrote tens of thousands of words reflecting on his life, and carefully compiled a collection of old photographs—hoping to leave behind something more enduring than the body itself, something that could mark his presence beyond time.

The book is divided into two parts: text and images. The written section presents a chronological narrative of his working life. Subtle traces of his later-life prescriptions are embedded into the visual background of these pages. To accompany the text, I revisited and photographed the homes and workplaces he once inhabited—many of which are now abandoned or transformed.

The image section consists of old photographs taken throughout his life. Arranged in reverse chronological order, they trace his appearance, circumstances, and companions—from the present day back to his youth.
