I developed an editorial object exploring the concept of Absence & Presence, a duality between shadow and light, concealment and revelation, structure and deconstruction. The project aimed to translate these tensions into a visual and tactile experience, using editorial design as a medium to interpret a universe built on the idea that a garment can erase as much as it reveals.

The publication is structured around four thematic chapters, Origins, Black, Deconstructed Garment, and Body, each examining a different aspect of this practice through a dialogue between text and image. The editorial direction is built on strong contrasts, alternating between minimal and dense compositions, monochrome imagery, and fragmented visual narratives. To reinforce the concept, the object features two complementary covers representing the notions of absence and presence, connected through a Japanese binding that reflects both the cultural roots of the project and its handcrafted nature.
