What is the essence of garments? Garments, as a medium; the essence strives from the bodies.
As the body moves, the garment moves with the body. Bodies have unlimited possibilities. Bodies could express the endless vitality of nature growing trees, melting ice, echoing water......
The opposite juxtaposition of the elements, And the tension of limbs...

Body. Garment flows with the body.
2 as binary oppositions and relations,
A trigger. An initiation.

Connection and resonance. Involvement and consciousness.

Inspired by the work '2' from Tao Dance Theater, the plain and simple stage reminds me of ice smooth and sharp.In contrasts, their movements are so soft that to me is water.

The dressing practice of contemporary dancers inspires me in terms of the layered styling, fit and fabrication. Many things can be achived and learned through a short period of time, but only for bodies, there is no shortcut. As dancers repeated their routines daily of practicing, sweating, washing the garments over and over, the colors of the garments turn out to be slightly faded, and washed out. Through repeated practices, the dancers work through the texture and quality of their muscles and limbs. Where the fabric directly touches the skin is soft. As body moves, garment moves; the natural drapes becomes elements in my design, to capture the moment of movement. It looks like river flow from far away, draped naturally around the body. Some fabric looks stiff, feels cold, but the other side where it touches the body is soft.
// 舞 When it moves, it flows like river;
「动」是行云流水 「静」是坚如磐石
When it’s still, it rests like stones. Redefining the perception of presence, Interpreting the essence of existence...

I express myself through my works and I find myself...
I move as I feel, I feel, as I perform.
