CUT OFF is an experimental editorial book that explores crowd psychology, emotional contagion, and the loss of individual identity within collective spaces. Through abstract halftone imagery, repetition, and controlled typography, the book visualizes how people absorb, become part of, and eventually detach from crowds.


5.25” × 7.75” saddle-stitched book, manually RISO printed by me. The purple halftone layer was RISO printed for its texture and ink variation, reinforcing themes of repetition and distortion. After drying, the remaining elements were then printed using an inkjet printer. Vellum chapter title pages allow the RISO imagery to show through, creating a layered, bleed-through effect.
