PROJECT CONCEPT

"TAN" uses the ideology of its culture to link aesthetics and arbitrariness, through inheriting and promoting culture on a spiritual level.
The ballads of fishermen are one of the forgotten traditional cultures in Hong Kong. Attracted by the application of sustainable aspects and their characteristics, I used an asymmetric design to express its feeling of freedom, vividness with flexibility. Through high-cognition contrast between warm and cold colors, the collection reflects the fishermen’s values and their somewhat sad take on life, death and religious beliefs. Besides, I have also collected & utilized yarn wastes to create 3D patterns in fuzzy surface, which represents its recycling and upcycling attribute of TAN’s content.
