Visual essay
The inspiration for this visual essay book came from a chat with my mother. I asked her, hypothetically, what would your life’s dream be if you didn’t have to consider reality？She said she would like to save the world. Based on this conversation, we expanded the topic to talk more about the world and argue about what attitude we should use to treat the world as a part of it.
Each image depicts a point of view in our chat, and hope to bring to the audience a little warmth under this unstable situation right now.
