Realities of Ignorance Exhibition Visual and Catalog
The translucent material of the golden yellow odd light paper and the white elastic line are employed to respond to the exhibition's theme, which centers on "consciousness still in a state of chaos, lacking awareness and understanding," reflecting entanglement and disorder. This design blurs the boundaries between the book jacket and the book cover, enhancing the thematic representation.

The visual entry point of the exhibition is to capture and layer certain magnificent and mysterious colors from the paintings of the three artists, processing them into three main tones. These tones—bright yellow, olive green, and grey-purple—are used to create three personal books for the catalog. The translucent material of the golden yellow odd light paper and the white elastic line are employed to respond to the exhibition's theme, which centers on "consciousness still in a state of chaos, lacking awareness and understanding," reflecting entanglement and disorder.
The theme of the exhibition—“consciousness in a state of chaos, lacking awareness and understanding”—is mirrored in the design, which aims to evoke a sense of accessory and an open, unstructured state, eschewing traditional book structures. This design blurs the boundaries between the book jacket and the book cover, enhancing the thematic representation.
