“‘Trans’ has two meanings—translate & transport. With the visual experience, I want my readers to transport their senses from the flat paper and bridge the gap between words and images that will connect with their physical counterparts. Like a historical Emaki, there are side stories hidden behind some of the main graphic narratives—be they comedic or serious—for audiences to interpret. All of the details (choice of words, origami paper, or styles) have a specific meaning to contribute to the whole.” —Naoko Fujimoto
