Fields of Sugar, Fields of Memory

Fields of Sugar, Fields of Memory is a quiet story about love, memory, and the landscapes that hold them.

Set in the sugarcane fields of rural Taiwan in the 1950s, the book follows two women, Meili and Shao, whose lives become intertwined through everyday moments — sharing fruit, wandering through fields, watching the moon over a lotus pond. In a world where some relationships could never be openly spoken, their affection survives in gestures, places, and memories.

Years later, the land has changed, but the fields continue to hold what was once lived there.

Blending illustration, folklore, and fragments of imagined memory, this small artist book invites readers into a tender landscape where time folds, love lingers, and the past quietly breathes through the present.
