The Lake
"You are a tiny lake, you are shaped like an egg. At a depth of thirty meters, not far from your deepest point, there lives an orange fish. Right at the bottom and no one can catch it."
Picturebook Lake is a poetic and subtle work of art in which deep and intimate images are combined with minimalistic text. At first glance, the simple story deceives the body; in fact, it is a universal philosophical reflection on how we cope with change or loss. Paintings with distinctive handwriting guide the reader through a dreamland with a unique atmosphere in which one can get lost, but also find himself. The Lake is a book that is not enough just to read. It's worth keeping it close at hand and reaching for it whenever we don't understand each other.
