《Book c.》是一本以插畫形式概述 Nicolas Ghesquière 在 Louis Vuitton 擔任女裝藝術總監十年的作品。書中以視覺語言回顧了他在品牌中極具創意的十年歷程。如果想了解更多詳情，可前往 @cityhowwhy 查看編輯記事，或到各大便利店購買實體書。
很榮幸能參與《Book c.》的製作。這本書由 City Magazine 策劃和出版，隨書附贈號外雜誌 Issue#569，並以十塊隨機包裹的流體畫布作為包裝，每塊布的顏色靈感來源於 Nicolas Ghesquière 設計的十套經典服裝。這個創意來自書籍編輯 Iemi 和設計師 Chau，看到實物時令人震撼不已。
我一直以來繪畫的信心，大多源於客戶的邀請與信任。由於涉足領域多樣，表現形式各有不同，很多時候初次嘗試便要達到要求，彷彿是一場賭博。而真正支撐我的，是客戶對我的信任，這往往超越了我對自己作品的自信，讓我無比感激。
製作流體畫的過程則像極了攝影——需要在畫面流動到最完美的瞬間立即停手。然而，有時過於追求補救，反而錯失了那一刻的美好。即便我試圖用電腦修復畫面，也無法填補當時內心的遺憾，因為最美的一幕，永遠留在了製作影片中。

It was an honor to contribute to the creation of Book c., curated and published by City Magazine. Packaged with Issue 569, the book comes wrapped in one of ten fluid art fabric covers, randomly selected. The colors of these covers are inspired by ten iconic outfits designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. This innovative idea was conceived by editor Iemi and designer Chau, and seeing the final result in person was truly breathtaking.
My confidence in illustration has always been fueled by the trust of my clients. Working across various fields with diverse styles often means tackling entirely new challenges, making each project feel like a gamble. Yet, it’s this trust from clients, which often surpasses my own belief in my abilities, that keeps me motivated and grateful.
Creating fluid art, however, is more like photography—capturing the perfect flow at just the right moment and stopping immediately. Sometimes, the pursuit of perfection leads to overcorrection, and the most stunning piece is lost in the process. Even though I’ve tried to digitally restore those moments, the gap left in my heart remains, knowing the most beautiful scene will forever exist only in the making-of footage.
