For me, design has never been about simply putting forms together; it contains the silent understanding and dialogue between the designer and the artist. Just as architects design spaces that serve functional needs while also sparking reflection and interaction, my design attempts to provide a perfect vessel for the artist’s work through every detail—from the texture of the paper to the binding method, from the color scheme to the layout. This vessel is not only for displaying art but for evoking an emotional resonance, allowing every reader to connect with the work on a deeper level. The value of design lies in this delicate and balanced presentation, enabling the artist’s emotions and thoughts to be conveyed without words, moving away from mere visual enjoyment and reaching the resonance of the soul.
My project emphasizes the concepts of connection and collaboration, where designers and artists jointly explore unknown expressive spaces, blending design and art to create a unique form of communication. In this process, design is not merely used as a tool for display, but a profound collaboration and interaction. It becomes a bridge that establishes a deep connection between the artist and the audience. This is not just the presentation of design, but a profound exchange of ideas and emotions—a dialogue of the soul.
