Spring 22 'Bird Cage'

Eileen Chang, a Chinese writer who centered on women under the Republican era, exposed women’s situation in that era. Marriage became a shackle for women’s lives. They depended on men both physically and mentally. Canary as a metaphor in her novels, satirizes the miserable state of women's lives. I hope this project is a visual exposion of the constraint, and also an awaken of female power.

Fall 2021 'Folding'

A look inspired by a traditional Japanese craft, origami. Influenced by the layered structure and technique it possesses, I used boning and folds to simulate the effect of origami.

'Dream'

Inspired by Freud's interpretation of dreams, I tried to use the reflection of organza and the use of light and shadow to create a variety of colors on different white fabrics to create a dream-like virtual world as a way to describe those beautiful dreams I have had before.

'Love Jacket'

This is a tragic love story that revolves around a couple who have cancer. The boy scattered his ashes into the sea in order to guard the girl, and kept himself by the sea for the rest of his life. I used this as inspiration and combined the shapes and colors of the waves to create this love jacket.
