This book is a collection of photos of beautiful rocks off the northwest coast of Taiwan, which Sand Wan took during his many trips there. The textures and grains of the time-worn rocks appear hyper-real in the delicate light captured by his lens. With post-production editing, Sand Wan rebuilds the perspective and a sense of space around the objects, creating a balance between reality and aesthetics.
