The deadline is drawing nearer and nearer, production is speeding up. Corals~ Chinese elements~ Linking them together. During the past few weeks of planning, I final came out with a concrete idea on what I will be focusing on.

 

Concept

Corals bear the rather charming nickname of “Sea’s of Garden” because people once thought it was a plant.

In ancient (Chinese Tale), corals represent beauty out of ugliness and transformation, with the end result being an immeasurable joy.

Corals are included as one of the eight treasures and symbolize longevity. As a symbol of longevity, the Chinese have traditionally believed that corals represented an “Iron Tree” that grew under the sea and blossom only once every hundred years.

Below are some of my silhouette of my production sketch.

For my final piece, I will be focusing on the silhouette and also on the textile manipulation.
