Synopsis:

This art book integrates original drawings, archival images, and B&W film photographs. It depicts each other’s transformation between two lovers, tracing back to one of them assigned gender. As he obsessively photographs her body, she constructs his form, intertwining two gazes that resonate with robust yet fragile gender norms and infinite desires.
