Title

quench thirst

Description

Inspired by Artist He Xiangyu's "Yellow Book," which won the 2020 "German Most Beautiful Book Award," I became deeply interested in his "lemon project." When we observe an object, the history behind it and our long-term experiences combine to create the impression it leaves on our minds. I am fascinated by this phenomenological study and have created a zine titled after the ancient Chinese story of "quenching thirst by thinking of plums". Quench thirst is printed on translucent sulfite paper, delicately folded in a scroll-like manner. The yellow color subtly shines through the paper, exploring the relationship between the object itself and the impression it creates.
