The book “Symphony No.1, mother’s time” uses an unfolded snake structure with a maze style. It references musical scores and symbols. It will use letterpress printing on Rive lightweight cream-colored paper, with four layers: sheet lines, symbols, text, and a single image. The context includes alarm times, the sounds of children, a mother’s responses, and an image of the mother and kids.
When I realized that most mothers adjust their schedules according to their children's needs and face constant time pressure, I started to notice how my kids’ voices were in my mothering experience. I understand that my perception of time differs from conventional, linear clock time. Instead, I have an internal clock and schedule according to one task after another, responding to the sounds that my kids make. Additionally, I imagine how the voices I hear in my home are like a symphony that reflects a kind of chaos and a sense of loss in my time as a mother through emotional expression.
