[book design, cover page and layout]

Ellipses is a year-long, collaborative exchange created with Philippe Chagnon and Louise Gros, centered around daily life, cyclical time, and experimental printmaking. Louise employed the lithophotocopy technique to reinterpret personal photographs from Philippe’s everyday experiences, which became the foundation for poetic responses.

As the designer, I translated the project's cyclical theme—echoing Earth’s orbit—into the book’s structure, using a circular, non-linear layout to mirror the rhythm of time. The result is a meditative, tactile object that blurs boundaries between text, image, and form.
