Editorial memory

The editorial theme

ApLink Design Gallery brings public-domain works of art back into contemporary life through digital presentation. A single ukiyo-e print, a chain of gold—different eras and lands, yet the same recurring question: how to catch light and keep color.

We reconnect them as one exhibition cluster.
