In a new age of digital-books, this book offers a neat analogue take on scrolling through a flowing roll of texts. With a stunning array of 225 bamboo strips measuring 4.35m long, interpretations are given to images that have been archived from three century-old temples in Singapore, as they are given symbolic readings. As a limited-editioned collection, it is designed in the form of ancient Chinese scrolls to elicit the vibes of cultural imageries, as might have been similar visceral experiences felt then, in rituals of reading and pursuits of all things cultural and meaningfully endearing.
