My Rose My Emerald and My Blue Bird describes a journey of a girl, who wants to find a book of herself. Where the desert and the sea meet, there is a library. Among an infinite number of books, she discovers her favourite books and words. The words she chose are written on the book of herself. 

The story tells how we are shaped. We read the world. We continuously experience the world through encounters, conversations, and relationships. From our chosen past to every possible future, we select, edit and remember our experiences. These become memories, which consist of our consciousness—when we aware of it and label it, we find ourselves.
