TROPICAL NIGHT: 1021 DAYS ACROSS THE WORLD
WE CHOOSE AN UP AND DOWN STITCHING FORMAT LAYOUT IN ORDER TO PRESENT THE EMOTION OF HALF-ASLEEP, HALF-AWAKE FOR THIS BOOK. USING DARK COLOURS IN THE UPPER HALF TO REPRESENT NIGHTTIME AND WARM VIVID COLOURS IN THE LOWER HALF TO REPRESENT DAYTIME, WE TRY TO CREATE AN INVERTED SENSE OF REALITY AND FICTION.
THE TEXTS ARE PLACED ON THE TOP OF THE PHOTOS, JUST LIKE WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP DURING TROPICAL NIGHTS AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS STARING AT THE CEILING OR THE STARRY SKY SURROUNDED WITH ALL KINDS OF THOUGHTS.
