EXISTENCE
- 2023
Represents a series of textile sculptures intended to offer a get away from daily life and a fresh perspective on existence. Through these sculptures, it aims to explore time as an expansive force that surrounds us. The mysterious nature of time intertwines with existential questions like the relationship between time and love and the concept of nothingness. It refers to the uncertainties that relate to one's existence, purpose, and the fundamental nature of human existence. Existence represent thoughts as threads that give meaning to our way of being. The style of narration in this collection is the stream of consciousness and is inspired by Existential Philosophy.
Main techniques for making this collection are laser cut and machine knitting and wire sculpture. The domain materials are yarn, wire, cardboard. Paper and natural yarns are selected to minimise environmental impacts. For sustainability, I tried to use the waste of this collection as new materials or making ideas and techniques for the future collections. Existence is designed for exhibiting in galleries and invites people to dive in their subconscious.
Existence was exhibited in Melbourne Fashion Week 2023.
