![元的回忆录- My Bittersweet Memory Through Textile Exploration and Expression at NTU ADM Portfolio](https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/adm-portfolio/files/formidable/7/WhatsApp-Image-2021-05-16-at-17.37.42-d48043.jpeg)
This narrative project embodies my emotional transition from childhood to adulthood through a series of woven lamps.
My exploration highlights the nature of impermanence, change, and uncertainty, observed in each phase of my life. Various properties of material, woven methods, textile density, and levels of light glare were sought and examined to reflect my fluctuating emotions explicitly.
Design, when properly used, serves as a medium of expression, allowing hidden emotions to be properly examined and helping those with wounds to reconcile with their past.
