A collection of poems written during childhood and adolescence, exploring inner growth, emotional development, and maturity through change
The book was designed as a physical metaphor for the human body. All texts are printed in red, and the book is hand-bound using red thread, evoking the visual and emotional language of human veins. These choices aim to convey the idea that thoughts, emotions, and memories flow through us like blood, gradually shaping who we are over time.
To reinforce this concept, the book is composed of transparent paper, allowing the reader to partially see the texts on the following pages. This layering effect is intended to resemble looking inside the human body, where veins overlap, intersect, and remain visible beneath the surface. It also acts as a metaphor for personal evolution: as we grow, we do not become a single, fixed version of ourselves, but rather a composite of everything we have once felt, believed, or thought.
The transparent pages represent the layers of time, each new layer reveals a new version of the self, while never fully erasing who we once were. In this way, the editorial design becomes an intimate narrative device that connects poetry, body, memory, and transformation.
