An onion consists of tunics, just like painful emotions. You can only find comfort in the heart of the onion. To reach it, you have to go through all those different layers. It is an end point, and a beginning.

DUALIDADE
“This book was created in collaboration with graphic designer Tina De Souter, who guided me in many ways. (...) Tina and I had a very specific idea about what the book should look like. With regard to paper choices, printing techniques and binding methods, her expertise was welcome. The paper has the ideal thickness and makes the colors and contrasts of the photos stand out beautifully. The binding method makes the book open easily. (...) This collaboration was definitely a relief.” - Frederick Van Grootel
Trail - one year in the life of a snail
A snail moves at 1 mm/sec, 1 centimeter in this book represents 1.5 meters in reality. This means that every spread of the book represents 60 meters from a snails’ perspective. The snail is born on the cover and travels through the entire book and thus, the book represents one year in the life of a snail.
