​

Decaying with the speed of spring tells the enigmatic story of a woman who encounters multiple versions of herself. As the number of versions grows, she spends time observing them until the experience becomes overwhelming. 

​

The book unfolds like a cinematic fairy tale, primarily through photographs that capture the protagonist’s external world, while illustrations provide a glimpse into her inner thoughts and emotions. Through this journey, the book explores themes of self-acceptance, personal growth, and the process of letting go.
