About
This coffee table book is designed as a quiet moment of pause. Each spread pairs a Zen-inspired quote with a minimal illustration, inviting readers to slow down, reflect, and reset. Using simple shapes and a restrained color palette, the abstract illustrations echo the emotional core of each quote rather than literal meaning. Rooted in Zen philosophy, the project explores how presence, simplicity, and acceptance can gently strengthen the mind, offering calm and clarity in moments of stillness.
