Wot is a book?


Yifan Shen, A Dream Within A Dream, 2018
Paper, wood, glue, ink First edition

For me, reading books is like having a nice cup of tea, different author can be describe as different types of tea, and you can taste the texture of them while reading them, the taste of tea can be different by changing the temperature of water so it just like people reading books at different age you would get different experience. So I want to make the feature of book looks like tea bag and the container can be a small drawer, I will choose paper with interesting texture tone the packaging of the tea bag, and instead of tea leaves I will put my favorite poem in it, there will be Chinese poem and English poem. I don't my want my design only be a regular book but also a nice piece of decor.
