I am recalling my childhood memories, capturing the warmth that brings me. In the vague memory, I'm trying to draw the images. About my childhood, what impressed me most were the handmade quilt, numerous toys, colorful images of going to the park. Therefore, I tried to wrap the quilt around the body to get the silhouette—and then, modified it. I designed my own print from the colorful memories. This project is a combination of colorful print fabrics, bringing warm, lovely, nice feelings to everyone.
