Slow Fire Makes Sweet Malt
Slow Fire Makes Sweet Malt depicts the dichotomy and coexistence of the pleasure and distress of slow in the new age. In a world that is rotating so fast and reached a point where it is impossible to slow down on a macro level, starting from the word slow, through dialogue, research, and my personal experiences and reflections, I try to think about why we have forgotten how to slow down, what slow means to life, what slow means to design, and what slow means to individuals from a narrow personal perspective in a linear but diuse way. It may be full of illogical and out-of-the-box content, but I intend to provide a channel for the audience to think with me, hoping that my thinking will inspire more different thinking and that the concept of slow will take root in the hearts of some people.
