This project was born out of my loneliness and isolation. Human feelings could not be shared, and loneliness cannot be communicated, but in this case, it was nature that gave me the strength and exposed me to a whole new perspective and field. I am fascinated by the power, movement, lightness, and resilient beauty of nature. This project focuses on a leaf. The softness, lightness, architectural structure, and varied forms of the leaf make me reflect on the texture and direction of the leaf to reflect the mutual attraction and complementarity between the human body and nature. A leaf represents not only its own life and time, but also contains the cycle and law of the whole nature. The beauty of a body wrapped in a leaf-textured garment is something I have never tried or gotten before. It is as if time and space have stopped, the power of nature that I feel at my fingertips, and the relaxation and tranquility that I can feel through the garments. The keywords in the design process are genderless, soft, and powerful. I hope the wearer can feel this softness and closeness to nature in the process of wearing, and get a moment of peace and happiness in the midst of the world’s chaos, and the power and lightness that can be obtained in this peace are rare in modern society.
