A cat leaves its weight in the paper

The pawprints grow shallower. Across layers of white paper, a small dent gradually loses its depth. In SuWei's《貓咪的123456件禮物》, the book carries some of the cat's disappearing weight.

The story began while SuWei was caring for a chronically ill cat. He imagined what the cat would leave behind. The cat prepares six gifts and tells the story. It gets the last word. Its tone can be cool, funny or unexpectedly tender.

Gloss varnish catches the light like a trace of drool. Black ink makes fur darker than the black paper beneath it. Another cat hides inside a folded leaf; the binding asks you to peer in from the side. Four papers and four printing techniques give this farewell a physical form.

At Tongli, drawings, paper trials, print proofs and draft books let you follow those decisions. The tests make a good reason to see the book beyond a flat image on a phone.
