The Holding Breath, published by Humanitas, looks back on the vulnerable working class, including daily workers, platform workers, workers at workplaces with less than five employees, youth workers, and elderly workers in the COVID-19 era. It also provides legal and institutional directions for labor policy along with labor welfare for them.
Everyday Practice presents the title of the book in the form of a mask to symbolize the vulnerable working class in blind spots who ‘have to hold their breath’ in poor working conditions. The divisional title page reveals the design direction in a head shape that can be reminiscent of people from various working classes.
