As people grow up and immerse themselves in the demands of society, it becomes increasingly challenging for them to unwind and find moments of ease, especially when they live alone. Understanding this struggle, I aspire to design pieces that could bring joy to tired grown-ups and evoke happy memories of their childhood or serve as a simple emotional&physical compensation for less-than-perfect pasts. To let the designs be soft and approachable, I chose yarn as my primary material and hand-crochet as the main method and crafted each stitch with care and attention (the pieces are all handmade by myself). Together with the digital illustrations, I aim to create a whimsical and lively world, hoping that the pieces can stop the viewers’ seriousness for a second and let them feel relaxed.
