Six Imaginative Touches of Saguaro Cactus
by Siu Ding
Six Imaginative Touches of Saguaro Cactus is a handbound art book blending photography, fabric textures, and poetry to explore solitude, resilience, and queer identity through the saguaro cactus. Inspired by an Arizona residency, Siuding incorporates a green sock closure—stitched in varied shades to mimic cactus skin—embodying the longing to touch what resists embrace, and the emotional tension between desire, distance, and self-discovery in the Sonoran Desert. Siuding is a designer and book artist with over 20 years of experience in publishing. Founder of Hong Kong Life Model Club, she curates Body Fest – Hong Kong’s first nude-themed arts festival. She leads life modelling workshops and advocates for body autonomy through her book Our Models.
