I started to experiment with my idea of the relationship with memory and space by imagery manipulation. I want to visualize the chaotic feeling while I was experiencing a space. I overlapped images of one place shooted from different angle from my research trip. I tried to merge the two different time and angle of …

To further research into my idea of memory as navigation. I revisit tube line and purposely choose to stop at the station Aldgate, which is the station I passed everyday to get to the studio I was interning in London at 2015. I am very bad at direction (which I used to get lost around …
After navigator project launched, I started to observe the things around me while I was traveling/walking through the city and to think about what I wanted to do. One thing occurred to me is how often when I looked at the sky, there are an airplane flying across London. As a traveller that frequently flying …
For the tube line research, we chose the central line for exploration. Since the central line is situated right in the central, it allows us to travel London's centre from west to east. The area we have explored along central line including white city, Notting Hill Gate, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Holborn and Liverpool …

We have discussed briefly how I want it to look like, and brainstormed the possible ways of executing it. We have done some basic shot of the garment hanging in the air, and using lighting to create the ambiguous and …
After deciding the rough design, I did few more tryout on the proportion on the length. And started to finalizing the colour used on each layer. However, the outcome still went a bit off in the end as painting on small pieces fare different from painting the big sheets. It's harder to control the ink …
The silhouette of the garment is inspired by the meaning of exposure: "the state of having no protection from something harmful." However, from my research there are also another perspective arguing exposure to diverse things will let us become a less biased person, and protect us from harming by false stories. Thus, I want to …
