Defensive Mechanism
2019 · Fu Jen Catholic University · Bachelor Collection
Inspired by Pai Hsien-yung's short story A Winter's Tale — a character who, after profound loss, conceals their true nature beneath an elaborate, decadent exterior. The collection translates this psychological state into garment: knitwear and metallic materials held in tension, simultaneously firm and soft, protective and exposed.
The surface performs strength. Underneath, something more delicate remains.
