我所有作品的统一设计理念和氛围都围绕着一个核心:自我发现是一门艺术,自我接纳是一种实践。我的作品总是能通过视觉效果传递出强烈的个人情感。我个人偏爱手工制品,因为我认为精湛的工艺能让人们在看到我的作品时立刻感受到强烈的情感氛围。因此,我倾注在作品中的心血也能被人们所理解和共鸣。

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.
In 2023, on my second trip to Tibet, I knew Tenzin in Gyirong town in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, where Tibet meets Nepal. She is the first transgender Buddhist in the Himalayan Tibetan region to disclose his transgender identity and has been accepted by his family and the local social environment. Tenzin presents a sharp contradiction between individual identity and the sociocultural environment, and this is in fact a concrete manifestation of the conflict of many cultures and consciousnesses in the current society.
