The Withering Flower

The Withering Flower is a celebration of the power of the flower image. The flower is a popular subject written as personification in Chinese literature. In contrast to the blooming flower’s popularity, images of the decaying flower are often associated with jinx and taboos. The collection looks at what shapes a community’s perception on what is sublime and abject. Designed in 100cm to 200cm length of tulle dresses, silkscreen printing on translucent mesh fabrics, the textile technique allows the prints to stay opaque and stretchy on mesh, creating an appearance of prints afloat in the air.

Materials include 1000D nylon cordura, waterproof thermoplastic polyurethane and YKK zips. The expanded size is 50 x 35 x 20 cm.

Taste Connnection X

Taste Connection X is a multifunctional bag that can be used as a backpack, a messenger bag or an open luggage form. The bag is made of waterproof PVC printed with a pattern that blends popular bubble tea brand logos from Taiwan. Each piece is cut at random from a roll covered with colorful stripes, so no two bags share the same color composition. The shape is created by folding, without additional cuts, and an adjustable cotton strap with a custom print defines each mode. The design also works as a souvenir of Taipei street scenes.
