This entire book is a poem written by Marshall Weber. Bookmaking was done by American book artist Christophe Wilde. The poem was written by American artist Marshall Weber in elegant English handwriting, starting from the first page and continuing to the last page. Then Colombian artist Eliàna Pérez translated the poem into Spanish and wrote it down in a way that interacts with the existing handwriting, and she drew beautiful pictures between the pages. After this, the book was given to Xu Bing. He added Chinese characters to the poems. With the addition of the Chinese characters, the words in the book seem to be transformed into a sea of waves and figures amidst the waves. The book invites the viewer to feel and imagine the fluid boundaries between humans, words, images and nature.
