In this piece, the book becomes a densely layered structure built from hundreds of precisely cut strips, each taken from its own interior pages. By carving and reassembling the material directly within the book’s body, I created a compact architectural field—an accumulation of lines, angles, and planes that suggests both order and fragmentation.

The shifting colors come from the printed edges of the pages themselves. As the layers stack and intersect, they form a rhythm of pastel bands that resemble geological strata, urban grids, or woven textiles. The work moves between micro and macro: from a distance, it appears as a unified pattern; up close, it reveals intricate variations, asymmetries, and the slight irregularities that come from hand-cutting.

Nothing is added to the book. Every element is extracted, rotated, layered, and returned to its place, making the sculpture an internal reconfiguration rather than an external construction. What emerges is a kind of compact landscape—an abstract “microcosm” that reflects the book’s potential to hold multiple worlds, not only through language but through its physical form.
