A grown up fairy tale about the fear of the unknown; the beliefs that enforce it and the powers that sometimes force us to go and face it. An intense dialogue between the truths inherited and the need to create our own image of the world.
The illustrations and the story:
An almost theatrical interaction that is presented through an artistic, symbolic game between the traditional ways of Chinese calligraphy in abstract forms and the lines and colors of contemporary graphic design.
The secret freedom of movement inside the tight boundaries of tradition and the strictness of absolute geometry inside the open space of the contemporary. Both of them revealing of what is. Both of them in the effort of reshaping their own boundaries while challenging those of our belief systems. Both of them offering themselves to the necessity of reshaping our lives and the world we live in. Not by fighting each other, but by cooperating thus presenting to us admirably their inherent connections.
This book is a tribute to the simplicity that lies in the most complicated emotions that determine our lives and to this very complication that reveals itself before our eyes in the simplicity of a form.
