the cloud that fell from the sky - Limited Edition of 500 Print

In 2015, Judy Choi discovered in a journal the poems of her 15-year old niece, Phoenix. When she first read her poems, she couldn't believe that someone of her age could write in such an eloquent and sophisticated manner. Phoenix's poems were so beautiful, yet, poignant and tragic at the same time. She was writing poetry as a way to cope with her parents' drug addiction. Often sad and dark, her poems provide an introspection into the adolescent mindset, expressing the loneliness and emptiness she was feeling due to the absence of her parents from her life. Ms. Choi also envisioned this book to have a strong visual identity and, to that effect, incorporate photographic imagery associated with great design. She found the perfect partners to achieve that vision, Francis George and Mami Awamura, who have tremendous experience and have worked together on magazines and books in the past. They volunteered their expertise, time and efforts to help bring that project to life. This is the result. To give the book a special identity and character (since Phoenix and Judy are of Chinese origin), they decided to explore traditional Asian string book binding. Each copy is signed by Authors
