Bookmaking

Fragments Series

A series of essays featuring film photographs from Europe to Asia, reflecting the small happiness from everyday life while experiencing the cultural differences in different areas. Inspired by traditional bookbinding as well as the Bilingual independent magazine Lost. Written in both English and Chinese.

Two Booklovers Pilgrimage in Japan

A guidebook about the amazing bookshops and other fun places in Japan after our trip in 2023. It solves my pain point of not being able to find the places on Google Maps when making too many pins. I hope to encourage people to collect memories offline. 

Blumen

Blumen is a character I create when I feel depressed. It is a blue man in the shape of a flower with an indifferent face on all the time. I would like to create a safe space for readers to take time for our grief and dilemma. 

People

Starting with the 30-day drawing challenge, I finished a whole sketch book and filled this tiny book with the portraits I did. It's so very interesting to see the content, the palette and the way we present what we see as our signature pattern.

China Fieldnote 001

This is an unofficial booklet about miscellaneous things to consider while travelling to China. The collage style adds to the funkiness of the book, and the handcrafted architectures of the five different cities create a complete skyline. When folded together, it forms an image of both the modern and traditional sides of China. 

Oriental Women Game & Book

It’s about the stories of twelve various females in Chinese history that empower people to be themselves. The 18th-century Chinese literature inspires the design of the book and game. Collaboration with AKL Zinefest, sold at Basement theatre pop-up for a show called Chick Habit.

143 Shanghai

This is a book discussing home and belongings for nomads. The accordion binding format brings a continuous experience for reading, and an interactive part is created in the book to invite the readers to take part in finding their own answers.

A Good Fight

The first zine I made. Talking about a chess game ended up with two queens standing till the end, which is ironic in reality but possible in a book.
