You Move Like Dust through the Vast and the Minute

Where would you be if you felt the vastness and minuteness of the world? you would be like dust which goes through matter, through the world, through glaciers and dew and dead birds, through cells and the starry sky.

The book You Move Like Dust through the Vast and the Minute narrative originates from a deeply personal encounter with fate: a fortune teller who followed me on the street predicted the next day's events with unsettling accuracy. I reflected on destiny and inevitability. Two years later, when I faced the same fortune teller, they offered another glimpse into my future. I chose to run, to escape the burden of knowing. This experience changed my perspective of my own life and gave me the energy to start to make this book.

An accompanying work, The Glass Book, presents a visual appendix to this project. Designed like a microscope slide, it is a physical book-object made of acrylic, containing 22 digital prints viewed through transparent layers. It compresses the world, glaciers, feathers, dust, cells, into a format for contemplation and collapse, comparing the world's massive and slight. Though not suitable for wide publication due to its fragile format, the handmade Glass Book expands the conceptual terrain of the project, echoing its fascination with scale, observation, and the illusion of clarity. The images are from the book You Move Like Dust through the Vast and the Minute. This extension can be seen as an experimental attempt on my road of editing books. It was exhibited in Offprint at Tate Modern, the Handbag Gallery, Fitzrovia Gallery, and @rencontresarles.

Together, these works invite a reconsideration of perception, not as a fixed act, but as a fragile, poetic passage through the known and the unknown.
