Inspired by the saying from an ancient Chinese text, A Happy Excursion: “the fungus plant of a morning knows not the alternation of day and night. the cicada knows not the alternation of spring and autumn,” this artist book was made through extensive interpretations and explorations on form and color.

In order to convey embedded elegance within the text, this book tries to exaggerate a relatively subtle moment for human beings, mimicking what “creatures” might perceive as time, and elevates the importance of the mundane.
