What is your creative process? What methods and materials do you use? Why do you use these methods/materials?
– I always give myself spare time to just go out to different places and cities. Having time just for traveling and relaxation benefits me to gain more inspiration from daily. I always come up with an idea when I blank out or just thinking about anything in mind. Imagining and reflecting my day or life brings ideas to design.
-Materials: Most of my materials are from daily life, for example, conceptual art, hair clips, eggs, milk and etc. I take daily objects into forms of abstraction, which then becomes either my textile or silhouette of a garment, perhaps the color scheme too. Furthermore, putting daily life in mind to create and produce garments or artworks that people can gain in common or for their aesthetics use often in their daily life.
How do you use your work to create meaning, and what meaning are you attempting to explore/create?
-Provokes daily life.
-Each daily items or experiences represent values, ideas, and emotions that most of us prioritize in our lives. All of the daily objects or experiences are temporary, which corresponds to the changes that take place in our surroundings and within us over time. Rather it is a need, provide, or want in daily, we all depend on it or contribute. However, we require different sustenance and the ever-changing world provides us with different experiences. We cannot predict — and sometimes cannot control — what will happen next.
-Inspired surroundings and the people around me + my philosophical values, lifestyle and inner emotions.
How do you want audiences to engage with your work? What kinds of meanings or sensations do you want your work to inspire?
-I want my work to help them in their daily life whether it is mentally or physically. Creating garments that are easy to wear and also produce philosophical meanings or giving more value to the daily object. Also, creating works that help to reflect their own life or the society or just emotionally interferes with my work.
How does your work reflect or relate to other practitioners (past/present)? Does it take inspiration from any historical or theoretical sources?
-By reflecting upon my past works, my designs are based on materiality and forms. Materials from daily or creating new textiles from daily. Focusing on abstraction and different shapes/forms.
-Moving forward, I would like to continue to put my own personal emotions or lifestyle values into the work.
