Why do people always feel the urge to stretch when they wake up? This work explores the unconscious bodily action that exists between sleeping and waking. After long periods of sleep, the body gradually becomes stiff, and pandiculation acts as a spontaneous resetting mechanism. Through stretching and extension, people reactivate muscle tension and bodily awareness. Therefore, I transformed “pandiculation” into a wearable piece that can only return to its original state through pulling and stretching. The work requires tension and extension to reposition the muscles, symbolizing how the body regains balance through pandiculation. Through this work, I hope not only to remind people of the importance of this everyday action, but also to create a sense of visual empathy, allowing viewers to unconsciously feel the urge to stretch when seeing the work being extended and reset.

當我懶得洗頭時，會戴起帽子遮掩，不只是掩蓋外表的油膩，也是在逃避自己知道卻選擇不去的。 帽子下的溼氣與悶熱，意外創造出適合菇類生長的環境，它們在頭臭中悄悄發芽，最後成為帽子上的「裝飾」。 這些菇不是為了美觀而存在，而是我懶惰生活的副產品，是從不被處理的日常中自然長出的有機痕跡。 這讓我重新思考當代的裝飾不只是外在美化，更反映出我們如何看待自己，掩護習慣，甚至選擇性地忽略某些真相。 在快時尚的體系中，裝飾被大量製造，快速淘汰，只求即時滿足；而在慢時尚的脈絡下，裝飾可以是一種故事的延伸，是與時間、身體與物質之間的深層連結。 頭上的菇，是我選擇不洗頭的結果，是生活的累積，也是對快速、廉價審美的一種諷刺。裝飾，不一定要美，它也可以是誠實的。
