By deconstructing the literary treatment of desire in Dante’s Divine Comedy, I created a series of design works—including a 2,000-page book, 300 paintings, and a related art exhibition to explore the complex relationship between desire and morality in the modern world. The entire book is produced using pure white, fine velvet paper with colorless intaglio printing to align with the sacred context of Dante’s Divine Comedy; here, white symbolizes vast, luminous vistas, while black represents the shadow of desire.
