D is for Doris.
When I see a bird flying by, I hear the whizzes of the wind through its feathers.
—And that are the beats when there are people saying at the same time, welcome home, and goodbye.
Deriving from the realm of travel photography, this original photo book deliberately selects pictures from several past trips, resulting in a compilation of flying birds, planes, window views in a speeding train. By poetic curation of images, it explores the intricate emotional dynamics between traveling and returning, staying and running away.
In addition to imagery, text and typography, the book creates paradoxical rhythms and beats echoing the title by putting dark cardstock jacket and vellum foldouts together in contrast. While the interiors were offset printed, each jacket was stamped by hand, endowing it with another layer of undetermined, subtle nature.
