This project is about recording the life stories of an elderly service recipient. We conducted interviews with the recipient, who shared with us his best life experiences. For the visual and thematic elements, we chose "door" and "music" as he believed that life is like different doors and he is a music enthusiast. The book is called "Concerto Grosso" (大協奏曲) and was created in partnership with the recipient. The book is divided into three chapters, each titled after a concept of movement (樂章): "No.1 Growth in Moderato" (第一樂章 成長篇 中板), "No.2 Enthusiasm in Adagio" (第二樂章 達人篇 慢板), and "No.3 Reflection in Moderato Spiritoso" (第三樂章 回顧篇 感性中板). In addition to our reflections and responses to his sharing, the book also includes our own reflections.
