🪴 Book Title: The Paper Garden
This project reimagines the world of Eleaner, who turns to paper flowers to preserve lost love. Through soft, melancholic tones, I aimed to capture the novel’s themes of grief, healing, and beauty’s fleeting nature.

People who are trapped in time, fragments of memory,
and two worlds that cannot reach each other.

This project is deeply personal to me, inspired by my grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's. While I study in the UK, she's far away in China. The time difference and her fluctuating state of clarity make it increasingly difficult to connect with her. This experience drove me to explore themes of time and memory, and the feeling of being trapped within time.

A central element of this project is the door, symbolizing connection and transition from one place to another. In the context of my project, the door also hints at the unknown, just like how we never know which memory my grandmother will drift into next. For her, memories are like a maze. She wanders through them, with the passage of time losing its meaning. She can only loop through these fragments of memories in her daily life.

I feel like I'm calling out into a void, asking, "Hello, are you there?" I can't reach her world, but through this project, I hope to bridge the distance just a little.

“OUCH!”

Being hit with memories from the past is like suddenly stepping on a rock while walking barefoot on the beach.

This project unveils the tale of emotional isolation and generational resonance, woven with rocks and trees.

Memories hit like unexpected beach rocks, igniting reflection: Where do these rocks originate, and how do they shape us?
