Mysticism Made Tangible

For their graduation project in communication design at the China University of Technology in Taiwan, Cai-He Hung, Yu-Han Lin, Wei-Cian Chen, Yueh-Tung Chen and Pei-Wei Kao immersed themselves in the ancient shaman culture of their home country. Using traditional bookbinding, they succeeded in making this mysticism tangible – a mountain massif rises up like scales before the eye of the beholder.
