"As the saying goes", is our commonly used opening statement, although the "colloquialism" often sounds a little "vulgar", but we have to admit that many popular vernacular and slip of the tongue have its actual value.
People often say that reading is good, there is a golden house in the book, there is a thousand bells in the book, and there is a yan ruyu in the book. Reading will make people more insightful, can make people distinguish between right and wrong, naturally let people grow, get many things that are not originally possible, reading to change their destiny is not just a simple slogan.
Although reading is very good, but reading is not a thing that can easily see the effect, its value lies in accumulation, until one day we need it to play its value, many modern people who are eager to make quick gains do not have much interest in reading.
In foreign countries, there is not so much "colloquialism", but the artist Guy Lalam also sees the value of books, and he hopes that through his own creations, people will feel the value of books and the benefits of reading.
In Guy Laram's eyes, culture is constantly being replaced by new cultures, while books that record old knowledge are disappearing little by little, and the rapid development of digital products has made paper books face extinction. This is undoubtedly a very unfortunate thing.
Therefore, Guy Lalam wanted to prove the value of books through his own creations, and the word demise became the main theme of his creation, and in Guy Lalam's works, books are dying little by little, but they do not disappear completely, but through the process of "extinction", they become three-dimensional landscapes.
These books that should have died out became romantic landscapes, abandoned books returned to their original faces: forests and mountains, some books that died out became hills, and all the stories and traces of human existence disappeared with them, erased by clouds.
Guy Lalam named his work The Desert of Knowledge, intending to warn people to value books and knowledge, and at the same time, it also tells everyone from another perspective that the book really hides everything we want, it has infinite scenery, and it is beautiful.
