Emptiness

空This design explores the relationship between external labels and internal content through the interchange of the spine and inner pages and the interaction of thermochromic ink, focusing on the multiple symbolic representations of "emptiness." The only identifiable punctuation mark on the spine serves a function of pausing but lacks independent meaning. These symbols, as points of division and pause, suggest how individuals, in their pursuit of surface nodes or external labels in life, often overlook the internal coherence and holistic significance that is fleeting. The isolated state of these symbols reflects how people gradually lose sight of their inner essence while seeking external validation, slipping into unconscious numbness.
"Emptiness" is not just visual blankness but also a metaphor for the inner world. The narrowing inner pages symbolize the compression of self-exploration, while the blank spaces represent the potential and unrealized self yet to be written. "Emptiness" signifies both the lost inner space and hints at latent possibilities.
The application of thermochromic ink at the incision further deepens the dynamic meaning of "emptiness." The colors change with temperature, showcasing the fluidity of "emptiness" and symbolizing the interaction between the individual and the external world, implying the impact of external evaluations on internal perception. This shift suggests that as individuals seek external validation, their self-awareness and experiences gradually erode.
By exploring the misalignment of the individual's internal and external relationships, the work calls on viewers to reflect on whether they have overlooked the real moments of life and self-awareness, prompting them to rediscover themselves from within "emptiness."

　　　　　　该设计通过书脊与内页的形式置换及感温油墨的互动，探讨外在标签与内在内容的关系，集中体现了“空”的多重象征。书脊上唯一可识别的标点符号具有断句功能，却无独立意义。这些符号作为分割与停顿的节点，暗示人在生活中对表面节点或外在标签的执着，忽视了内在的连贯与整体意义的流逝。这种符号的孤立状态体现出人们在追求外部评价时逐渐丧失对内在本质的感知，陷入无意识的麻木。
　　　　　　“空”不仅是视觉空白，更是内在世界的隐喻。缩窄的内页象征自我探索的压缩，空白部分则代表未被书写的潜力与未实现的自我。“空”既是丧失的内在空间，也暗示潜在的可能性。
切口处感温油墨的应用进一步深化了“空”的动态含义。色彩随温度变化，展示了“空”的流动性，象征个体与外部世界的互动，暗示外部评价对内在感知的影响。这一变化提示个体在追求外部认同的过程中，自我感知与体验逐渐流失。
　　　　　　作品通过探讨个体内外关系的错位，呼吁观者反思是否忽略了生活的真实瞬间与自我意识，从“空”中重新发现自我。
