Measurement of Emptiness
Book Design (MFA Thesis)
2022
The concept of emptiness is a multilayer experience that can shift attention between the audience and the designer. I aim to create a visual system that simulates wandering and relaxing, defragmenting things to their original meaningless state, and then rebuilding the fragments to what the audience truly wants.
We ask: Is destiny meaningful without the process of knowing there’s the possibility of something out there to be found? The Ultimate paradox is knowing that we may not ever be able to answer any of our questions, and yet this is the purest form of fulfillment for human existence.
I authored a book based on my subject study, presenting it in the form of an 8" by 8" translucent sticky note. Each page's top backside is coated with detachable adhesive, replicating the sensation of using a sticky notepad. This unique design aims to evoke the essence of journey, presence, curiosity, and the tangible void experienced upon completing the book.
