“Nice to Meet You”

“All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, ‘The Little Prince’
Everyone once experienced a sense of wonder and childishness, but at the time when we reach our adulthood, we lost beautiful qualities like innocence and rawness when we face hundreds of social rules and massive living pressures. Adults tend to always forget how to enjoy themselves and listen to their own voice. In this collection, I try to bring myself back to the fearless little girl who was always appreciative to life and always have a pure heart. I combine process like knitting and weaving to bring more playful textures and intuitively play with various colors and materials.
