Even with the emergence of the digital age, books are considered tangible artifacts that preserve our literary culture, and oftentimes, are revered as works of art themselves. This exhibition challenges the traditional purpose of books by transforming them into the mediums behind extraordinary three-dimensional sculptures. By physically altering their appearance, the artists have bestowed each book with a new life and meaning.
