Arts Thread

In my final project, my theme is Rational Freedom. My research into freedom and restriction is inspired by the fact that freedom is restricted in response to the spread of the epidemic era. Still, if left unchecked, the consequences might be catastrophic. And I believe this is how everything works in the world. This project explores the balance between absolute permissiveness and restriction, combining it with knitted fabrics to express the dialectical relationship between the two states. The project involves exploring law and justice, installation art, performance art and other related fields. During the development and experiment, the joint of the two different knitted fabrics and the textures expressed the dialectical relationship between the two states, which also sought to find the best combination of different patterns and techniques to achieve a balance between the fabric and the final garment, incorporating the "Mean" from traditional Chinese culture. I used different techniques to express order and chaos in knitted materials and found the right way to subtly combine the two states in both pattern and technique to achieve a balance. The black parts of the fabric are full of folds, contrasting with the flat white texture. At the same time, the combination of knitted fabric and epoxy can also be considered a balance between soft and hard, representing freedom and firmness for restriction. My work will give the audience a sense of security and strength that comes from rational freedom, which helps reduce societal instability and make our lives safer, more harmonious and happier.
