Blue Is the Language We Cannot Translate is an illustration book and poetic essay by Akaa Ling that maps the collapse and persistence of human connection through language.

 

Written across Chinese and English, the book is both a personal archive and a lyrical dissection—on being misread, mislabeled, and mistranslated.

 

Structured as a long-form letter to the part of the self that resists definition, it blends memory, philosophy, and poems: bruises mistaken for fruit, fashion as camouflage, speech as failure, and blue as the residue of closeness.
