Description

" I Am Living In "HELL" is inspired by Buddhism and the concept of suffering due to samsara (rebirth).

This collection uses different symbolic colours combined with Chinese landscape painting and paintings of hell for contrast. Perspective is key. "HELL" may appear to others as "HEAVEN".

Red can symbolise blood and violence, but also festivity. Blue can symbolise calmness, but also sadness. Mountains in landscape paintings give comfort, but frightening in paintings of hell. Red and blue contrast in this collection, and embroidery, batik, quilting, and transfer printing create curved lines. What exactly are you seeing? Is it really "HELL"?

This collection combines traditional Chinese clothing and modern garments. Chains express the feeling of being bounded and in "HELL".
