In book design, the interior extends the notion of “rubbing the road,” constructing a reading path through a continuously unfolding long scroll that turns the “road” from a conceptual medium into a tangible page-turning experience. The cover and back are wrapped in traditionally hand-dyed linen; the rough grain and the faint sheen of fibers recall the countryside’s natural breath. Structurally, a dual-cover with special folding is used: at the start of each chapter, an AB double cover separates the photographs like two doors; when readers push open this “pair of doors,” the complete long scroll unfurls before them like a road. On the content level, I integrate AI-driven analyses to generate time-based waterline data for different ponds, placing rational measurement alongside affective narration; thus, old doors, dirt roads, and ponds are woven into a book with both tactility and structural logic.
