Untitled

Untitled is an ongoing, irreverent series in which I create custom jackets for existing hardcover books. Each jacket is made from white paper with hand-stencilled, fictitious titles—sharp, absurd, and instantly relatable. The aim is to spark curiosity and invite viewers to imagine the unwritten stories behind each title.

The works range from the cringeworthy (Beyond the Expert Apology) to the deeply relatable (Side of the Story, Volume 1 and Volume 2), to the delightfully absurd (From Dremel to Toaster in Three Simple Steps, Edible Paintings in Public Space). One of my personal favourites was covering an enormous, three-inch-thick book of baseball scores with a new title: Parental Fashion Advice, turning it into a tongue-in-cheek “encyclopedia” on a universally relatable topic.

In Untitled, the size and shape of each volume matter just as much as the text. Together, they form a growing inventory of absurdity—one that continues to evolve through both my imagination and contributions from others. When friends learned of the project, they began offering their titles based on personal experiences, such as Suspiciously Priced Luggage and The Power of Entitled Customers. These collaborations add another layer of humour and relatability, ensuring the series remains fresh, surprising, and never-ending.
