The Book of Sand

Abstract:
As the representation of western mythology, the Bible contains the essential themes of human history and life. It is like a grain of sand. As small as it is, it can still embody and build the whole grand world.   In view of this, sandstones are taken as a basic element of this project. Combined with the Bible, the project designs a book of "infinity" that expresses the idea of seeing the macroscopic things from the micro ones.

Inspiration: 
"To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your sand, and eternity in an hour." ----William Blake

"The Bible is rich in the content of prototype, which is the origin of language symbol." ---- Northrop Frye
