The BOxK series, a collaboration with 1 and Half Atelier, further pushes boundaries. Originally designed as an exhibition catalogue for the Beijing event "Innernet", it combines wearable functionality with "bleed" zippers, making information accessible in innovative ways. This series features printed reproductions of works by Xiao Longhua, Dali, and Kong Sanpang in the framework of O1 tote bags, echoing KOVA’s mobile cabinet concept to bring art seamlessly into everyday life.
Through experiments, KOVA reimagines the book as a dynamic, multi-dimensional experience—blurring the lines between art, design, and publishing to create thought-provoking and interactive works.

Collaffiti is a bilingual photo book that explores the intriguing phenomenon of pareidolia—where the mind detects familiar patterns, especially faces, in random objects. Through vibrant street scenes and evocative photographs, the book examines how this cognitive bias shapes our everyday experience. Blending visual storytelling with theoretical insights, Collffti reveals the intersections of psychology, neuroscience, art, and urban culture. A product of creative collaboration across China, Singapore, and the Netherlands, it was launched in Singapore in August 2024.
