1st Year Sophomore Design & Construction

Concept:

With the passage of time, many things remain in the form of memories. Chinese characters were my main way to convey feelings at different times. It seems to have been out of my life for a long time. But when I look back, it is still deeply engraved in my mind. Go back to the oracle bone inscriptions, and then to the present calligraphy. People write Chinese characters in different ways. Such as carving on rocks, recording various herbs in Chinese characters, writing poetry on fans, and some people choose to tattoo on body parts. Either way contains the beauty of Chinese characters. I used the shape of the rock and the crack in the middle as a reference for the shape of the dress. Large quantities of Bundle Dye retain the classical beauty of Chinese characters. Use delicate fans as manipulation.

Concept Statement:

I have always regretted not taking the College Entrance Examination. Since my first year in high school, the school has not offered Chinese courses. For me, the significance of the College Entrance Examination is very important, and it is more of a ritual feeling. I didn’t get to touch Chinese characters after that, and the impression of them only stays in memory. I love Chinese Characters, and they are full of charm for me. I want to show the elements of Chinese characters through the fabric and try to capture my personal emotion.
