Kirjahaku

A poetry collection that embodies the thoughts and feelings of young love, sadness and anxiety. Incredibly introspective, it follows a total of 5 key chapters each detailing a different theme: connection (I & II), derealisation, turmoil and resolution, with a section of beautiful haikus at the end. The title is a message to all that sometimes our connections with others are painful, but we endure them nonetheless and they make us who we are. Connection also comes in many forms, whether that be with ourselves, a loved one or a thought or feeling that keeps us going or stops us in our tracks. This collection aims to illustrate a time in my life that was fraught with indecision - but most of all, love and appreciation. I hope you will enjoy and really connect with these words

The Chinese title of this book reads “The Profound Reflection of Brushpots: A Collector’s Enlightenment” literally, citing reference to the book Imperial Profound & Reflective Encyclopedia commissioned by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and The Collected Works of Long Ying, published during the reign of Emperor Wanli, Ming Dynasty. The word “Profound” was chosen meticulously to highlight the breadth and variety of the brush pots collected, and the proposition of their illustrations. The author’s intent to make this book an encyclopedia of brush pots was fairly explicit. On the other hand, “reflection” comes from a mirror, which shows how you look and who you are. It represented the collector’s experience in soul-searching and self-reflection during his journey of art appreciation. Text in English and Chinese.
