Xiang Yata's OPTOMETRY is a kaleidoscopic skydive through the many ways we perceive ourselves, told in full color and through a myriad of different styles.

In Optometry, a girl goes to an optical shop for a pair of glasses. As the eye doctor calibrates the optometry machine to investigate the faults and fractures in her eyes, she is transported to a new world, a place full of overlapping images, dots, curves, houses, and light reflections.

The girl must navigate through the various unique planes within optometry world, confronting endless labyrinths, exploding worlds, and multiple versions of herself to find her way back to reality before she becomes lost forever in a daze.

This work also features a bespoke interview with the writer at then end of the book, delving deeper into the craft, influences, and life behind their work.

Artist Xiang Yata takes readers on an unforgettable graphic journey, showing how thought patterns branch out through multiple art forms, including sketching, photography, and graphic design to investigate the myriad ways we perceive ourselves.

This hefty graphic novel is Alice in Wonderland for a a new generation that is inundated with art and imagery, asking themselves where they fit into the visual landscape of the world.

Yata, Xiang: - Born in Changde, Hunan, China, a small city in the inland area, XIANG YATA (象牙塔) learned to draw by watching cartoons as a child. At Guangzhou, a well-developed coastal city, Yata attended Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts for high school, where she spent most of her time in the academy's library, reading, looking, and learning about art nonstop. Although initially inspired by manga, she branched into other countries and mediums, embracing a diverse collection of experimental approaches. Shortly after, Yata pursued her art by attending Beijing Film Academy for animation and film, and now she's been working as an animator for the past decade. Yata's work stands out for its outstanding attention to detail and experimental use of media; it often showcases patience, finely-tuned storytelling, and breathtaking pencil work. Her previous work, Captivity, was published by Paradise Systems, and her work was featured in Bubbles Magazine. Other short releases include The Ruby Mystery, Red and Green Girl, and The Explosive World.
