Influenced by the stories in the film "Annihilation" and the novel "Crystal World" where people gradually merge with natural substances and eventually disappear, I attempt to create a brand-new philosophy of clothing, that is, to embrace the beauty of transience and change. I hope to make clothing itself a philosophical practice, rather than merely an environmentally friendly, degradable and functional alternative. Breaking the traditional notion that people blindly pursue "eternity" can enable us to rethink the significance of "transience and change". In the project, I began to explore those biomaterials that could rapidly degrade or disappear after creation, and studied the environmental friendliness and degradation cycle of these materials, etc. I explore the roots of natural wheat and make them into clothing, and blend them with various biological materials such as salt crystals, tree bark and natural latex. I attempt to incorporate the concept of the beauty of transience and change into broader cultural discussions and practices, and truly help a wider range of people.
