orihon 折本

Orihon consist of a long strip of paper with writing on one side that is then compacted by folding in zig-zag fashion. The orihon format is considered a step between a scroll and a codex (modern type of book). The development of orihon began in China but later took on an association with Japanese book.

Krapanj

August 2020 while stranded in Split during the pandemic, we had a short escape to Krapanj, a tiny island off-shore of Brodaric near Šibenik. The whole island is 30 cm above sea level. I reconstruct the front façade of Krapanj. I love its subtle beauty and teh modesty of its look, a charming little place.

my everyday objects

After I drew my street, I started this series of drawing of my things that placed on and around my desk. They are objects that matter to me which I like to keep them in my view. Each object has meaning, we give them meanings.

a street with no name

In late 2018 to early 2019, I sketched a street in Tokyo where I called home for 8 years. It formed the memory of my everyday life and the observation of a mundane neighbourhood. The drawings were published in co+labo Urbophilia No. 12

unfolding Navigli

First day of Spring 2017 in Milan, I observed and captured how people enjoyed the water feature at Darsena and Navigli Grande. These orihon were displayed as an impromptu exhibition at Politechnico di Milano in March 2017, to complement the theoretical exegeses of Theory and Practice of Urbanity, taught by Darko Radović at their Department of Architecture and Urban Studies

Korčula

2017 in Korčula, I captured the different moments that I experienced during my visit.

carnet de voyage

various sketche & script in orihon during my travels. Many of them are from the long stays on Dalmatian coast in Croatia where I tried to capture the beauty of the sea, the sun, the stone and the everyday life.
