What the Jury in Bologna said:

Everything about this wide-page, leporello picturebook is unusual. The apparently abstract painted shapes seem to spill over from one page to the next. What at first glance look like random spontaneous colours, on closer inspection take on different forms of life: animals, flowers, insects, fishes, liquid and organic forms, all part of the constant transformation that is life. Metaphysical yet realistic, natural yet symbolic, the book explores new horizons for picturebook art.
