Haptic Bloom explores how the hands of Chinese artisans carry the traces of labour, memory and traditional craftsmanship, transforming these bodily marks into contemporary garment structures and material languages. Houndstooth and sequins form the core visual and material language of the project. I reinterpret houndstooth as a system of repeated units, connecting its sense of order and rhythm with the repetitive actions of handcraft labour. The pattern is reconstructed through individual sequin components, each of which is cut, arranged, and hand-sewn onto the surface. In this process, sequins are no longer used merely as decorative elements; they become material carriers of time, labour, and bodily memory.
