Books are among the most common objects in our daily lives. Their simple rectangular forms, wrapped in colorful covers, conceal a vast array of knowledge and stories. Books are a source of wisdom; we carry them outside to pass the time, and at home they accompany us through day and night. They enrich our lives and broaden our horizons.

With technological advancements and the rise of online media, acquiring knowledge no longer relies solely on physical books. Once books are digitized and uploaded online, readers can browse and extract information at ten times the speed of traditional reading. The quantity and pace of information available online far surpass what paper books can offer. This revolution in reading represents a significant step forward for human civilization.

While convenient access to information is undoubtedly a human benefit, it also brings unforeseen challenges. The overwhelming flood of online information enters our daily lives as if an endless pile of books is being stuffed into our brains—never-ending, impossible to finish or fully remember. The abundance of information can be exhilarating yet exhausting. Worse, much of the content online may not be what we actually need, and some information is even false, fabricated, or distorted.

In my artistic approach, books are magnified within the frame, causing their forms to lose focus and temporarily suspending their inherent meaning. This allows us to observe the fundamental shapes of books themselves. The magnification emphasizes the lines and structure within the books, conveying the layered heaviness of stacked volumes and creating a sense of compression and overcrowding in the composition. By employing distortion, twisting, and deformation, I suggest the arbitrary spread of misinformation and the instability of excessive information. Through this work, I hope viewers can sense the overwhelming burden of information overload in modern life, prompting reflection on the pace of our daily routines and our expectations for life itself.
