A GRASSHOPPER HOPS — Jui-Che Wu

From bright yellow to silver black to white to blue and green, the background colours create an intriguing division and transition of spatial areas. The flattened representations of landscapes, flowers, and insects highlight the pure beauty of geometric shapes. Beyond the images, Jui-Che Wu, who has won literary awards and been included in essay collections, intersperses a poem divided into four sections throughout the book. The relationship between the images and text is not a direct correspondence. Whether as a picture book, illustrated book, or art book, this work stands out as a unique and exceptional piece in Taiwan, both in its thematic approach and expressive style, making it quite rare in the current landscape.
