"In 2021, during the COVID period, it became the norm for everyone to wear masks, yet emotions could still be perceived. Genuine smiles and polite, insincere smiles were still discernible, which is quite strange because most facial expressions were concealed by masks. Upon closer observation, I realized that it's the eyes; they have become the window to all emotions.
I've always felt that eyes are romantic. Words spoken by the mouth fade away, sounds heard by the ears only linger in the mind. But eyes leave traces—tears, bloodshot eyes, crow's feet. Eyes are indeed beautiful, powerful, and dominant. This led me to wonder, if humans had no mouths, only eyes, could the eyes narrate our stories? Could they represent our individual selves?
My aim is to explore the relationship between eyes and people, as well as the impact of eyes on conveying information. I collected 65 pairs of different eyes from various backgrounds, ages, and life experiences, juxtaposed with 65 objects that can represent them. I haven't drawn any conclusions; I've simply used my professional skills to present them clearly and let the audience feel.
In the Zine, I utilized papers of different weights, materials, and textures to achieve a multisensory effect. Additionally, considering visually impaired individuals, I included some Braille designs.
I want my work to always be diverse, open, and interactive. I value connections between people; this is paramount to me, and I'm striving for it.
"INDEPENDENT EYES!!!" originates from 2021, consisting of a handmade Zine, three posters, and a short film. It's an ongoing e-book, a journey that never ends :)"
2021,COVID时期,默认每个人脸上都该长着口罩的时期,但情绪还是可以感知的到,比如发自真心的笑和客套的假笑,这其实蛮奇怪的,因为面部大部分表情都被口罩所遮挡,经过仔细观察,我发现是眼睛,眼睛成为了一切情绪的窗口。
我总感觉眼睛很浪漫,嘴巴说过的话会消失,耳朵能听见的声音也只能保留在脑海里。
但是眼睛让一切留下痕迹,泪水,红血丝,眼角纹。眼睛确实是美的,眼睛也是强大的,眼睛是占主导地位的。于是我不禁想,如果人没有人,只有眼睛,眼睛是否能阐述我们的故事?眼睛是否能代表我们的个体本身?
我旨在探讨眼睛和人的关系,以及眼睛对信息传达的影响,我收集了65双不同的眼睛,他们来自不同的背景,不同的年龄段,不同的人生经历,同时还有与此对照的65个可以代表他们的事物。我没有下什么定论,我只是用我的专业技能将他们清楚地排列出来,交给观众去感受。在Zine里,我用了不同克数不同材质的纸张以及材料去达到不同的触感以此通感的效果,以及考虑到视障群体,还有一些盲文设计。
我希望我的作品永远是多元的,开放的,交互的,我珍视人与人之间的连结,这对我来说是最重要的,我也正为此努力。
《INDEPENDENT EYES!!!》源于2021,一本手工Zine,三张海报,一个短片。
是一封不会结束的电子书简 :)
The Scars Museum is committed to exploring the multiple dimensions of scar definitions, aiming to dispel the negative stereotypes and biases associated with scars. Scars can have neutral or positive connotations. Scars can be not only physical ones but also natural geological changes, well-intentioned lies, or starting points of love.
"It's ok not to be okay." It is our slogan also the core concept of the whole brand.
Facing trauma, embracing vulnerability, and accepting yourself. Negative scars can also be smoothed out over time through personal growth as time goes by. However, it's also okay not to diminish them; they are just fluctuations in the grand journey of life. Using professionalism and research data as the baseline and empathy and real stories as the content, we aim to create a brand medium that can connect with audiences from different backgrounds across language and cultural boundaries.
这个项目的出发点是想要挖掘关于伤疤这个定义的更多面，并强调关于伤疤更多中性甚至是积极的一面。从个人心理创伤到生理疤痕，从地质地貌的自然蜕变到家长为了安慰孩子手术的一样疤痕形状的纹身。
“It’s ok not to be okay.” 免除伤疤一直给人带来的固有的负面色彩,伤疤可以有正面/中立的各种色彩,即使是负面的伤疤也可以通过个人生长将其消除。因此品牌logo以及icon设计选择了四个图形,是尖锐的菱形慢慢变成一道痕迹一个mark的长方形。
色彩上也选择了更偏轻盈以及富有能量的颜色,cp的灵感来源是海边落日时的golden time。
这本guideline非常全面,甚至包括了博物馆平面图,以及wayfinding的设计。
我的伤疤已经只有了疤,没有了伤。
In a group chat, I was inspired when I saw a farmer carrying a bag made from a rice sack. Why not design it to be reusable from the start? Rice sacks can not only hold items and bear weight, but rice is also a staple in the daily lives of many Asians. I chose bamboo fabric for the rice sack because it is one of the most environmentally friendly materials available. Additionally, I used screen printing to color the rice sack. This method is very suitable for small-batch production, efficient, and fun.
This was my first time doing packaging design. The cross-disciplinary research and experimental foundation opened up new ideas for me in future projects. Reuse, recycle, reduce—this has become something I constantly repeat.
在一次群聊中偶然看到一个农民伯伯背着用大米袋制作的包时，我受到了启发，为什么不一开始就把它设计成可循环使用的呢?
大米袋不仅可以装载物品并承重，而且米是许多亚洲人日常生活的必备消耗品之一。米袋布料我选择了竹布，因为竹布可以说是目前最环保的材料之一。同时，我使用丝网印刷的方式为米袋上色，这种方式非常适合小批量生产，高效率以及有趣。
这是我第一次做包装设计，跨领域的调研和实验基础都为我之后在做其他项目时打开了新的思路。 Reusae, recycle, reduce,
这也变成了我一直在repeat的事。
"The____ in my mind" is a review and reflection of my life and academic journey over three years in my undergraduate studies. The entire book consists solely of text and text-based graphics, printed in pure black and white, relying on the original color of the paper. I enjoy the feeling of returning to simplicity and authenticity that this approach brings.
"The____ in my mind".
是我本科三年对生活和学业的回顾复盘,整本书只有文字,以及文字组成的图形,没有颜色纯黑白打印,依赖纸张的原色。
喜欢这种返璞归真的感觉。
Originally inspired by "Ghost in the Shell," a time when the concepts of the metaverse and artificial intelligence were still in their infancy, I found myself fantasizing about a future where humans could engage in self-assembly and modification. In my imagination, having mechanical legs would make running 800 meters less exhausting. This led to the creation of a deconstruction and reconstruction artwork.
After sketching the mechanical components, I scanned them into the computer and combined them with Converse collages using Photoshop, a favorite among high schoolers at that time.
Nowadays, my fondness for Converse has waned, and I've begun to accept my body as it is. If I'm tired, I rest.
启发于《攻壳机动队》,当时元宇宙和AIGC的概念都还在胚胎阶段。而我在幻想,如果有一天人类可以进行自我组装改造,我有了机械腿,800米是不是没有那么累。于是有了这个解构又重塑的作品。
素描完成机械部件以后,再扫描到电脑上,再用PS与当时还是高中生最喜欢的匡威拼贴。
现在已经没那么喜欢匡威,也开始接纳自己的身体,累了那就休息。
When I was young, I yearned for love so much. Love at first sight definitely exists. Secret love develops every day and every second. Puppy love is something you try your best to achieve.
When I grow up, I don’t seem to dare to talk about love. I often talk about love, but not much about love. Hobbies are expensive.
Love seems to be something that cannot be avoided. Saying that you don’t want to love, saying that love is tiring, saying that love makes people hurt, saying that you will never love again, saying that you will love this time, not saying love but still saying love. I long for love, but can't get it.
Tired of love, but knocked down by love.
Looking forward to love, but where is the love?
Love is rare and expensive.
Love is expensive.
小的时候好向往爱，一见钟情是肯定存在的，暗恋是日日秒秒在细缝的，早恋是想方设法要做到的。
长大后却好像不太敢谈爱，经常聊爱，但不怎么谈爱，爱好贵。
爱,好像是一个避不开的东西。说不想爱，说爱很累，说爱让人受伤，说再也不会爱了，说就爱这一次，没有说爱但都在说爱。 向往爱,可得不到爱。
厌倦爱,却被爱撞倒。
期待爱,但爱在哪里。
爱很稀缺,也很昂贵。
爱是昂贵的。
