non-completion

In September 2022, Angel launched her first self-published book: non-completion (《肄業》). The book serves as a delayed response to the unanswered questions left in the classroom, haunting Angel ever since her university graduation. Everything first began in note-taking apps and Instagram, but the project has only taken shape when the materiality of printed books gives weight to personal memories and emotions.

肄業,意即修學中而尚未畢業,也指各就其業,或沒有完成畢業要求便退學。

畢業證書收到了,但功課還是欠交。未完成的課題是調配出自己的顏色,並藉此看見他人的顏色,看見異同。

作者以「慘綠」和「赤子」兩詞的色調作聯想,寫下年少的脆弱與銳利、疏離與熱情,希望借茲滋養芽肄,尋找來年的新課業。《肄業》收錄共四十四篇,沒有以任何文體作為寫作出發點或目的地的作品,部分曾發表於Instagram (@ambiguity_y),另附四幅彩色插畫。

設有「慘綠」及「赤子」兩款封面,內容無異。
