During a period when days were spent on the sofa and nights in bed, the shift in the summer light throughout the day became a way of tracing time. Occasionally, it would be possible to get up, take a picture and return to rest.

​

The construction of the cover breaks with the habitual movement of opening a book. It leaves it to the reader to find their own way in, and if possible, experience the limitation​​.

​

Each copy is handmade by the artist, while the interior is digitally printed. Printed with pigment inks on Baohong Masters 300 gsm, the cover is finished with hand-painted bronze edges. A pocket formed within the cover holds the interior. This reinforces the sense of a secluded world. The exposed binding is sewn with waxed silk thread using link stitch and kettle stitch.​
