In Search of: The Truths Within Our Memories is an art exhibition based on writer Marcel Proust's involuntary memories: aesthetic, sentimental, and dream. Viewing this exhibition book as a container, contents spill in and out of the pages like memories tend to do.
The book starts with introducing the colors and artists' works related to each of the three involuntary memories: aesthetic, sentimental, and dream.

An opened door invites the reader into the artists' memories.

Elements bleed off the page and edge close to the margins to represent the book as a container of memories. We can never fully retain them as they often involuntarily come and go.
↑
Sentimental: These memories are triggered through emotional ties to people or objects. Contents begin to bleed off the edges to convey memories that are less contained by objectivity.
↓
Dream: Personal biases influence memories that are not fully recovered. The truth is more subjective within these memories, where the artist uses their imagination to fill in missing gaps. Contents begin to fade and break the grid in this section.
↓
Aesthetic: This section showcases artists who captures memories through photography—a form that conveys the most unbiased truth. Contents are contained within the page to show their objective integrity.
