Fang Si-Chi’s First Love Paradise 《房思琪的初戀樂園》
by Scarlett Yang 楊思佳
China (Based in London)
這是一組為《房思琪的初戀樂園》創作的封面設計。封面與封底構成同一場景的對比,揭示故事中關於性暴力、權力與文學共謀的深層主題。中式高椅、蝴蝶標本與房門象徵父權、冷漠與掠食;金魚的消失、燃燒的火焰與白紗,暗示幻想破滅與個體毀滅。設計意在呈現讀者由「初戀」到「惡夢」的心理落差。
This cover design presents the same scene in contrasting moments to reflect the novel’s emotional descent. Beneath its surface of first love lies a harrowing tale of sexual violence, power, and betrayal. Symbols like the Chinese chair, butterflies, and vanishing goldfish evoke patriarchy, prey, and lost illusions. The design captures the reader’s shift—from innocence to the horror of manipulation, silence, and destruction.
