An Island of Small Things

An Island of Small Things is a collection of everyday ephemera from Taiwan. These objects are often overlooked in daily life, but by scanning and archiving them, we celebrate their existence and reveal the joys, habits, and textures that quietly shape Taiwanese lifestyle and culture.

The objects are printed on fabric and arranged like an archival map, with the thin cotton material echoing the fragility and temporality of ephemera. Accompanied by a bilingual zine, readers can explore further details by referring to the numbered objects on the fabric. Designed to be split in half, the zine creates a playful and interactive reading experience across the two languages.
