THE VIRTUOUS BOOK
PRINT DESIGN · 2022
In this project, two parallel stories will be told in the same text. The first, an essay from Gui Bonsiepe on the Virtues of Design, the second is a text of my choice. Together they should inform, inspire and delight the reader.
Chosen Text.
My Mother’s Tongue by Zavi Kang Engles (2019)
It is an essay that I read recently and it is a personal essay where the author, Engles, celebrates the close relationship she had with her mother and laments losing her Korean fluency.
The first text, Some Virtues of Design, talks about values that should be maintained and brought into the next millennium as far as literature is concerned. I think these two text fit well together since one talks about the values to be maintained while the other talks about the experience after certain value is lost.
