It’s a comprehensive collection, encompassing the exhibition, the photo book, and a range of merchandise, all serving as a platform for Jennie to organically share her past experiences and emotions.

The exhibition itself transcends conventional displays, featuring diverse spatial arrangements that guide visitors through a cohesive narrative.
