ISSUE
In modern society, people are gradually isolated from nature due to the fast pace of daily life and urbanisation. This disconnection from nature causes people to often feel anxious and unable to have inner peace.
STATEMENT
The ‘Mirror of Nature’ collection aims to encourage people to return to nature and reconnect with it through textiles. By interacting with nature, the audience is able to release their anxieties, return to the present moment and re-experience the essence of life, thus helping them to achieve inner peace and harmony.
I have also developed my own textile materials by developing BOPS heat-shrink, a polymer-based eco-plastic that is free from hazardous substances and can be recycled to minimise its impact on the environment. BOPS is produced in a more environmentally friendly way than traditional PVC and PP materials, producing no emissions or waste water. I hope to balance aesthetics and sustainability in my designs and push t he fashion industry in a more sustainable direction.
In this collection, preference is given to the use of natural fabrics as well as the use of recycled fiber re-produced fabrics to ensure environmental friendliness and sustainability. These materials come from renewable sources and are biodegradable, helping to reduce environmental pollution.
