The Earth Still Hides Under the Quilt for the Winter – Essays on Russian Nature

Book design | 2022 | Zhangzhiqi Studio

This book is a record and description of the Amur River. When flipped, the fore-edge makes a rustling sound of stepping on the snow, in which the earth warms up and everything revives. The words flow slowly like clouds in the sky and running water in the river and record the traces of time like the snow. Hovering falcons and leaping pheasants are metaphors for natural creatures preparing for the arrival of early spring.
