More than just a visual story. An honest artifact revealing the trauma and loss of personal identity of an artist as he transcends from childhood to adulthood.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An honest an relatable story that is reminiscent of childhood, offering a candid glimpse into the life of Quinn Lim. We were commissioned by The Book Show \/ DECK to craft a visual representation of Quinn\u2019s story, which manifested through the careful placements of photographs, report card clipping, crumpled post-it notes and other small mementos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Instead of revealing the answers to the metaphors posed in this book, we\u2019ll pose a series of questions. Starting from the cover page.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What does this trapped object on the cover page represent? Is this intentionally not aligned and flattened? Why is there a mix of scribbles and printed text throughout the book? What do the blanked-out grades on report cards represent? Why is text printed outside the margins in an exercise book?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Oddity at its best\u2014 is the best way to describe this project, which proved to be more than just a book, more than just a photo album, and more than just a regular book cover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
