A book read with lines rather than words
When you open the book, thin gray lines gather to become a thicket, a hill, and a forest path. A few strands of turquoise lines wind their way over them, and scarlet petals scatter. These are scenes that show that although the wind is invisible, this is what remains in its wake.
With almost no explanatory sentences, the reading speed is entirely up to the reader. It is fine to linger on a scene or flip through it quickly.
Closer, slowly
If you look closely, you can see that the drawing is constructed by layering short lines to draw individual blades of grass and twigs. Thanks to the whitespace between the lines, the entire paper feels light as if it is breathing, and it feels like a gentle breeze is blowing every time you turn a page.
Blue cover, pink petals
On the clear sky-blue cover, flower petals carried by the wind are scattered as small dots. When you turn the cover, the first page continues with pink petals fluttering beside the blue endpaper, and at the end of the book, the record of the 2022 paperplate remains quietly.
Paperplate, a record on paper
Paper Plate is a small independent publishing house run by artist Son Ho-yong. He is dedicated to recording scenes from daily life and thoughts that cross his mind onto paper. Scenes that are easy to overlook—such as the way the wind passes through the grass, the small plants encountered daily in front of the house, and the darkness of the forest at sunset—remain on the paper as fine lines.
The reason Composition chose paperplate is that it is a painting that does not speak much. At first, the empty space is what you see first, and the longer you gaze at it, the more each individual line slowly begins to appear. It is a paper that is perfect to keep by your side during quiet moments.
Keep it by your side like this.
Try flipping through just a few pages a day while enjoying a cup of tea in the morning. It is a book that doesn't require a rush, so the slower you read it, the better.
· When you open it after finishing yoga or a walk and your breath has calmed, the wind in the picture overlaps with the rhythm remaining in your body.
For someone who likes art and paper, try writing a short message on a Sandal Breeze postcard and giving it as a gift.
Storage and Guide
