- Summary/Artist Statement
- As a creative fashion designer, I create original work combining art and human body science. Inspired by medicine, realism, and the human structure, my designs respect life. Combining artistic abstraction with a solid basis in pragmatic, helpful applications, I often use non-fabric materials in my creative process to create visually striking designs that push fashion boundaries and welcome invention. I also work using three-dimensional printing technologies. I studied fashion design at the Rhode Island School of Design for my BFA and the Fashion Institute of Technology for my MFA.
- About This Collection:
- Inspired by human blood vessels and prominent bones, the "Heartstring" collection is produced with fluidity and color as main ideas. I reduced this theme as much as possible, then turned it into clothes. Ultimately illustrating the homogeneity of human beings, the objects in this series use the human body as a canvas, inside out, and wear the biological tissue under the skin on the outside. The clothing has a sense of breathing and a visual sense of blood fluidity through some knitted elements. Discover the subtle idea and balance between reality and abstraction, structure and fluidity.
