Burma and Ceylon are totally different countries with different energies, contents and layouts. That is why the artist of Vlad Yavorskyy portrays each Book with a unique color palette, priming the grandeur of landscape and history, refining the nuances of corundum shades, crystallizing the identity of his two gem homes. The outside of the Books however is kept identical, so that it will become an organic continuation to the series of five collectable books by Vladyslav Yavorskyy.
