魅力的なフリップブック。宝石のスカラベがページを掘り進み、土の塊を彫り出していく。その塊はやがて立ち上がり、昆虫そのものを飲み込んでしまう。続いて起こるのは魔法のような変容。新たに生まれた丘の神が、自然の神秘が爆発するかのように、色とりどりの植物を芽吹かせていく。この小さな本のミニナラティブが語るように：「あなたと私は、いつまでも一緒。私とひとつになれば、美しい色の森になろう。」
The little scarab burrowing through each page is such a clever idea, and the way it carves out the earth figure that then eats the bug genuinely surprised me. Flipping it fast makes the whole sequence feel like a tiny animated film.
Didn't expect to get so absorbed watching a scarab burrow and then get eaten by the thing it carved out. Flipping fast makes the motion blur into something almost eerie, slow and it's just satisfying. Kept it on my desk and now everyone who visits messes with it.
The flip animation is surprisingly smooth, and the way the earth-creature rises to swallow the scarab turns the whole cycle into something oddly poetic. I've flipped through it maybe twenty times already and still catch new details in the carved pages.
