Cultural Fascination

This project is a celebration of China’s rich textile heritage. Traditional and historical textiles are more than decorative—they reflect a culture’s identity and offer endless inspiration for contemporary design. This collection draws from the intricate textiles of China’s ethnic minority groups, inspired by the Attire and Adornment Exhibition of Ethnic Minority Groups at the Museum of Ethnic Costumes, Beijing Institute of Fashion and Technology (available on Google Arts & Culture).

Advocacy

This collection of eight woven banners is deeply inspired by artists who use their craft to address societal issues, as well as by young female advocates whose voices have sparked a new generation of protest. Each banner, meticulously designed and handwoven by me, tells a unique story—shedding light on some of the most pressing debates of our time.

Stay In Touch.
