This book was influenced by a South Korean film “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter….. and Spring”. The film is about a Buddhist monastery that floats on a lake in a pristine forest. The story is about the life of a Buddhist monk as he passes through the seasons of his life, from childhood to old age. I put emphasis on the water flow and our lives entering/exiting through gates. Each open panel indicates five seasons and they quietly show our cycle of lives by standing together as an accordion book.
