! I am an artist/ designer/ entrepreneur exploring the intersection between art, fashion, and technology. My work aims to generate a personal narrative of communication with my audience with various mediums and platforms. Inspired by my background in Network Engineering and previous entrepreneurship experience in technology, I tend to examine daily objects with an interdisciplinary perspective. I am seeking the potential for improvement and innovation through the process of transformation, with the desire of creating an unconventional relationship between forms and functions. My work, in general, is to establish my design language system and a vocabulary to communicate with my audience, through a wide range of platform/ media, such as art, fashion, technology, design, etc. My recent projects focus on exploring digital fashion design process. By merging fashion and technology, I discovered several digital fashion design workflows which not only generate nontraditional silhouette but also reflects the relation between virtuality and reality. The goal of this collection/ project “TRANSCENDENCE“ is to discover the alternative by applying digital fashion design method to America’s most iconic/ traditional material- denim. In this collection, each look forms within a certain timeline, from the past to the present, and finally transform into the future. There are also looks serve the purpose of indicating the error occured during the digitalizing process. The whole collection combines traditional denim treatment method, such as bleaching and indigo dying, with innovative 3d digital construction design workflow. And presenting this collection with the most advanced technology such as AR and VR, will give the audience an immersive experience and shorten the distance between virtuality and reality.
