Imagine standing in the future, gazing upon buildings that have stood for thousands of years, silent and mysterious. How would that feel? Inspired by Yingzao Fashi, a book about ancient Chinese architecture, my collection captures its timeless, enigmatic aura from a future vantage point. Merging sharp architectural lines and geometric fabric manipulation with traditional embroidery, she expresses both the contradiction and the fusion of futuristic and classical elements.
