Things in My Head when I’m Making a Decision
Nov 2023 / Artist Book / Digital & Hand-binding

I used the tunnel book structure to depict the world inside my head. Each page shows a different stage of thought I go through when making a decision. Since the multi-layered structure of the tunnel book creates a sense of space and progression, the reader can follow the progression of the inner layers with me to reach the final decision through the hole on the cover character‘s head.There is a rotatable interactive structure on the last page to capsule different decisions such as going to study, going for a walk or going to cook. The imaginary cute characters are used to materialize my way of thinking. To make it easier for people to read page-by-page, I've also created a regular bound version.
