I hold a background in sculpture from my undergraduate studies, and pursued illustration at postgraduate level. As an emerging artist from China, I enjoy exploring diverse materials and mediums, with a particular passion for merging illustration with fabric. My work often delves into intricate emotions and narratives, using a gentle yet powerful approach to uncover deeper truths about the world. I see my art as soft but strong, offering a subtle exploration of the complexities of the human experience.
My project is an artistic exploration of the relationship between my mother and me, inspired by her experiences as a tea sommelier. Through the creation of a fabric-based tea set, embroidered with messages and symbols that hold special significance for us, I aim to create a timeless dialogue that bridges our lives across different eras.
The work reflects on the broader social challenges faced by women in the 1990s, integrating themes of female empowerment, intergenerational connection, and the undervaluation of women's labor. This project combines textile art, personal history, and feminist themes to create a deeply emotional and reflective piece.
